Coimbatore, August 14: Four private college students were arrested here today after a first year student lodged a complaint that they had forced him to remove his moustache and later beat him up when he reported the matter to the principal.
According to the police, Bhasith, a catering course student at the NGP Arts and Science College, was ragged by four seniors in his hostel. The senior students – Manukumar (20), Basith (20) (both from Kerala), Deejith (20) and Sainudheen (20) – who were also enrolled in the same course, told the junior student to remove his mustache during the ragging.
When Bhasith complained to the principal, the four students beat him up when they saw him at private restaurant near the college on August 9. Bhasith went back to his native place near Palakkad in Kerala and was admitted to a government hospital for treatment. After the treatment, the student along with his father lodged a complaint against the senior students with the city police today who have arrested all the four accused.
