Kerala: College principal and teacher allegedly manhandled, threatened by SFI activists

Thiruvananthapuram: Activists of CPM's students' outfit SFI allegedly manhandled a college principal and also threatened him of further attack at Kozhikode in Kerala.

The incident took place at Gurudeva College of Advanced studies at Koyilandy in Kozhikode.

A video of the SFI activists manhandling the principal Sunil Bhaskar and a teacher on Monday has come out. On Tuesday SFI local leaders warned the principal of further consequences.

Apart from registering a case against the SFI activists for manhandling the principal and teacher, the police also registered a case against the principal on the basis of a complaint of SFI activists that the principal manhandled them.

The issue was over SFI setting up a help desk at the college in connection with introduction of four-year undergraduate courses. The principal said that the help desk was set up without permission and the SFI activists were even collecting personal details of the students.
