B. Sastha Somasekaran, an Inspector with the Coimbatore City Police, has volunteered to bear the expenses of a medical student who got an MBBS admission under the 7.5 % horizontal quota.
The police officer posted on social media that he was willing to bear the expenses of one student from a Government school background who got admission in a Government medical college. “We have received several requests that will be scrutinised to find the most deserving student,” the officer said.
Mr. Sastha, his sibling B. Sastha Indhusekaran, a Sub-Inspector, and a few of their friends are forming a trust to support the education of economically weak students.
The two police officials have already supported the education of six students hailing from a nomadic community.
