One-man panel to probe violence

Special Correspondent


All law colleges closed, semester exams postponed


CHENNAI: The State government has appointed a one-man commission to probe the incidents of violence at the Ambedkar Government Law College here on Wednesday, in which four students were seriously injured.

Announcing this in the Assembly on Thursday, Law Minister Durai Murugan said P.Shanmugham, a retired High Court judge, will head the Commission, which would also make a detailed inquiry into the reason behind the complacency of the police in preventing the violence indulged in by a section of the students.

Expressing the government’s anguish over the incident, Mr.Durai Murugan said to prevent any further untoward incident, all law colleges in the State would be closed and ongoing semester examinations postponed.

The government also suspended the Law College Principal K.K.Sridev, Flower Bazaar Assistant Commissioner of Police K.Narayanamurthi and Esplanade Inspector M.Sekar Babu. Four sub-inspectors have been transferred out of the city. Seven students have been arrested in connection with the incident and cases registered against under various sections of the IPC, including Sec. 307 (attempt to murder).
