Over a couple of months after being accused of assaulting a female student, Jaison Joseph, a fourth-year student, was expelled from Mount Zion Law College in Kadammanitta on Wednesday.
The decision was reached during a meeting of the college governing body, convened in response to a heated protest by Youth Congress workers. Earlier in the day, YC workers, led by Pathanamthitta district president Vijay Induchoodan, staged a march to the college, resulting in violence.
Protesters, angered by a delay in the college authorities taking action against the accused student, also locked up the college’s Principal in-charge. A police team from Aranmula soon reached the spot and broke open the room to release the Principal.
