Holding placards, more than 2,000 students of St. Joseph’s College, Irinjalakuda, Thrissur, laid siege to the private bus stand in the town on Tuesday in protest against the death of a fellow student in a road accident.
Laya (22), a final-year BCom student of the college, was fatally hit by a speeding bus while she was on her way to college on a scooter with her father on Monday. Her father, Davis Kuruveetil of Vallachira who sustained serious injuries in the incident, is undergoing treatment at a hospital.
The agitating students blocked buses for almost an hour. They said Laya was “a victim of dangerous competition between buses.”
