Seven students of Pachaiyappa’s College, who created nuisance and annoyed passengers on an MTC bus, were apprehended by the police and let off after being issued a warning.

Last month, a group of students from Pachaiyappa’s College attacked a rival group with iron rods on a road in Arumbakkam. Following the video which went viral, the city police have so far arrested six students for their involvement in the incident and initiated stringent action against those involved in route thala (bus route leader)

Under these circumstances, seven students who boarded the 47A MTC bus on New Avadi Road, on Wednesday, disturbed other passengers by singing loudly. They reportedly did not stop even after the commuters advised them. Following complaints, Kilpauk Inspector Ponraj nabbed them and produced them before Deputy Commissioner of Police, Kilpauk. They were let off after obtaining a written assurance that they would not indulge in any illegal act.
