Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam, Kerala, has been closed down indefinitely after the unit secretary of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) was allegedly stabbed by a group of students affiliated to the Fraternity Movement on January 18 (Thursday).
The college hostels have also been shut down in the wake of the incident. An emergency meeting of the college council decided to close down the institution indefinitely in view of the possibility of tensions on the campus following the stabbing incident.
