The police have arrested three youth, including a student of Dr. Ambedkar Arts College, who reportedly assaulted three college students over a fight that broke out during a college event on Thursday.
According to the police, the students had organised cultural programmes to welcome the first year students. When third-year students — Ranjith Kumar, Janakiraman and Jeeva — were presenting a dance performance, a quarrel ensued between them and Prasad, a first-year student.
Following this everyone dispersed. However, a while later, Samuel, a second year student and two of his friends barged into the college and assaulted Ranjith Kumar, Janakiraman and Jeeva.
Subsequently the trio students were treated at a government hospital. Based on a complaint from them, the police arrested Samuel and two of his friends Vijay and Selva and remanded them in judicial custody.
