Puttur, July 22: Amidst the ongoing efforts to end the stand-off between Muslim students and management of the Sri Ramakunjeshwara First Grade College at Ramakunja in Puttur taluk, the adamant principal of the College has gone on to the extent of lodging complaint against 14 students.

The fresh development came a day after hundreds of students staged a protest in front of the College on Friday demanding the management to withdraw the alleged communally motivated ban against headscarf.

Principal Vasanth Rao filed complaints at Kadaba police station on Saturday against seven students from Ramakunjeshwara College and seven students of other colleges who staged protest in front of the College premises on Friday.

In his complaint, he Mr Rao accused the students of using defamatory words against the college authorities and creating chaos in the college campus.

Though over 400 students including members of University Sarva College Sangha led by Hijab clad girls staged protest in the college premises on Friday, no protest was staged on Saturday. Hundreds of protesters from Mangalore, Bantwal, B C Road, Puttur and Uppinangady had arrived at the College on Friday and staged protest in the afternoon.

They protesters had alleged the college of dividing the students in the name of religion.

Meanwhile, the Campus Front of India has condemned the college authorities and principal for registering complaint against the students.
