Earlier in March, three members of the Tamil Nadu Thowheed Jamath (TNTJ) were arrested by the Madurai police, in connection with issuing threats to the special bench judges of the Karnataka High Court who dismissed the petitions from students seeking permission to wear hijab inside the classrooms. The accused — identified as Covai Rahamathulla, Asan Bathshah and Habibullah — were arrested after multiple complaints about their derogatory remarks against the High Court judges were registered in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. In a video shared by Indu Makkal Katchi, TMTJ leader Covai R Rahmatullah was seen declaring that if the judges were killed over the hijab case verdict, then they themselves would be responsible for their deaths.
