Students’ station clash: Three more picked up

K Dinesh Kumar (20) of Avadi, T Ram Sundar (20) of Arikambedu and J Surendar (20) of Tiruttani were secured based on the information provided by R Mohan, who was arrested on the same night of the incident. Dinesh Kumar is a final-year BSc Chemistry student of Pachayappa’s College, while the other two are BBA final year student. 

Police have booked 13 persons in connection with the case, with the rest of the students remaining at large.

Police sources said Railways IG A G Pon Manickavel has called for a meeting with all railway inspectors to discuss steps to prevent such incidents in future. 

Speaking to DT Next, Pachaiyappa’s College Principal S Kaliraj said that the students who were part of the clash would be suspended as soon as they receive a formal complaint from police. “The college administration is mulling on dismissing such students,” he said. 

Meanwhile, a few train passengers opined that unlike the bus routes where the college students’ clash have been curbed to a large extent due to close monitoring by the police, the railway police are turning a blind eye on such activities.
