In another development, Controller of Examination Professor V Krishna, expressing solidarity with the protesting students against Rao’s removal, resigned from the post and walked out of the Academic Council Meeting going on in the university.
The students gathered in front of the campus as part of a call for ‘Chalo HCU’ given by Joint Action Committee for Social Justice of HCU to intensify their ongoing agitation demanding removal and arrest of Vice Chancellor Appa Rao Podile (who resumed as VC on March 22).
Some of them climbed the main entrance gate even as police deployed in large numbers, immediately intervened and prevented them from entering the campus and took them into preventive custody.
