Niyang Pertin, the law student, posted the video of the incident on a social media website yesterday.
She repeatedly mentioned that the amount she had to cough up was "not the problem" but the "case of discrimination" was.
Even an intervention by the police did not deter the masjid authorities from asking for money, she alleged.
Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju tweeted saying he himself would look into the matter.
