Students held for ‘Bus Day’ rampage

CHENNAI: About 200 students of Pachaiyappa’s College took out a procession from Koyambedu to their college on Poonamallee High Road on Thursday. They entered the college and started pelting stones at the public after they were refused permission to celebrate what was supposed to be their ‘bus day’. Six policemen and 20 others were injured in the stone-pelting incident. A police vehicle and an MTC bus were also damaged.

The Kilpauk police  arrested 14 students from the college, which declared a holiday on Friday.
