Chaos descended on the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University headquarters at Pookode in the district on March 4 noon with the Opposition Kerala Students Union (KSU) activists clashing with the police at the entrance of the Varsity.
The melee resulted in injuries on the KSU activists, many of them seriously, and they were admitted to the Taluk Hospital at Vythiri.
The violence unfolded when KSU workers marched to the Varsity Headquarters raising a slew of demands, including handing over the case in connection with the death of J.S. Siddarthan, a second-year Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry student to central agencies for an impartial investigation.
