The Coimbatore police have said that no case has been registered against the management of Kovai Kalaimagal College of Arts and Science, where a girl died during an unauthorised disaster preparedness drill on Thursday.
Police officers said that before registering a case against the college management they would have to ascertain whether Arumugam, who impersonated as a trainer of National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), had “managed to cheat the college by producing fake documents.”
A police officer said Arumugam was a resident of Mambakkam in suburban Chennai and he had suffered a polio attack. The police were yet to ascertain why he produced fake credentials using the name of NDMA in educational institutions here and in other parts of the State.
“This could be established only after conducting a search at his residence in Chennai,” an officer said.
He claimed to be trained in disaster management and that he had completed a disaster management course. The letters he had sent to educational institutions did not have any landline telephone number. He had hired two women as volunteers to help him in the drill for some time, who too believed that he was a certified trainer.
Alandurai police have registered a case against Arumugam under Section 304 (ii) (Culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of Indian Penal Code, based on the petition submitted by the parents of the girl.
