The Ernakulam Central police have registered a case on a petition filed by Vinodkumar Kallolickal, history professor and coordinator of the Department of Archaeology of Maharaja’s College, alleging intimidation and defamation on various social media platforms in the wake of the mark list row.
He was the first accused in a case registered on the basis of a petition filed by Students Federation of India (SFI) State secretary P.M. Arsho accusing a conspiracy behind the erroneous mark list that showed that he had cleared an exam that he never took.
“Intimidatory and defamatory posts from multiple profiles are rampant across all social media platforms. They exhorted to inflict bodily harm, attack my house and stop me from stepping out of my house. Some of those posts are really scary and seemed bent up on sabotaging my academic career,” said Prof. Kallolickal.
