Anantapur Superintendent of Police said that he had suo-motu taken cognizance of the incident.
The College Academic Council of Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University on Saturday night suspended 18 second-year students both from academics and hostel for allegedly resorting to ragging on the Anantapur Engineering College hostel premises (Gurukula hostel).
While there were no incidents of ragging reported for a long time since the advent of COVID-19, this comes as a shock to many students and parents.
YouTuber ‘Savukku’ Shankar alias A. Shankar’s mother has filed a habeas corpus petition (HCP) challenging his detention under the Goondas Act even before the Home Secretary could refer the matter to the Advisory Board for its opinion and therefore, the petition must be dismissed, Greater Chennai City Commissioner of Police Sandeep Rai Rathore, has contended before the Madras High Court.
