The Sadduguntepalya police on Thursday registered a case against unknown persons who morphed a video of CHRIST (Deemed to be) University staff from the website. The spoof video, which was uploaded on social media, depicts the Vice-Chancellor and other staff responsible for the spread of COVID-19.
Based on a complaint filed by Anil Joseph Pinto, Registrar, the police have registered an FIR against unknown persons charging them for public mischief.

It was done to malign the reputation of the college,” said a senior police officer.
