The Kattakada police on Sunday registered a case against the principal of the Christian College, Kattakada, and a student for alleged impersonation to compete in the Kerala University union elections.
College principal in-charge G.J. Shyju and Vishak A., a first-year student, have been named the first and second accused respectively in the case registered on the basis of a complaint submitted by the University Registrar to the State Police Chief accusing them of various offences including impersonation, breach of trust and forgery.
The university sought legal proceedings a day after its Syndicate demanded stringent action against those responsible behind the controversy. The accused duo have been blamed for bringing the election process under a cloud of suspicion. The college had forwarded Vishak, a Students Federation of India (SFI) leader, in place of another student Anagha A.S. who had been elected as University Union Councillor (UUC) and was supposed to contest in the university union elections.
