As per a media report in the Times of India, the pediatrician had filed a complaint with the Belthangady police.
The tweet said they do not want women and girls to wear hijabs. "This is neither a Taliban state, Saudi Arabia or madrassa and the hijab is unnecessary. If you have to wear hijab, go to a madrassa," it said.
