The 24-year-old Hindu woman who converted to marry a Muslim youth reached Sivaraj Homeopathy Medical College in Tamil Nadu’s Salem on Tuesday night amid tight security. This was possible after the Supreme Court asked Hadiya on Monday to return to her college, freeing her from the custody of her parents in Kerala. The college security was beefed up in accordance with the top court’s order that directed Tamil Nadu to ensure her safety. Teachers and staff remember the shy and introvert Akhila Ashokan who joined their college for a bachelor’s degree in homeopathy in 2011. The court didn’t say anything on her husband plea against the high court order annulling their marriage.
