Hariharan and officer on special duty (security and vigilance) Booshan Sudhakar and two others illegally confining the student for more than 27 hours in the university.

report
Though a fact finding committee had submitted its report on the incident to the Human Resources Development Ministry three months back, no action had been taken on the report.
