Two students of a college here were arrested and later let off on bail in connection with the incident of bursting crackers and paying 'homage' to the college principal, who will retire in May this year, police said today.
Sharat Damodaran and Praveen M P, both second year students of Nehru College, were arrested yesterday and let off on bail, they said.
Enquiry with regard to another student, Mohammed Aziz, was going on, sources said.
Police had, two days ago, registered a case against three students on the basis of a written complaint by principal P V Pushpaja, seeking action against them for insulting her and causing 'mental agony' by their action.
Members of the pro-CPI(M) Students Federation of India (SFI) had burst crackers, rejoicing at her retirement and humiliated her by paying 'homage' last week by putting up a poster offering 'condolences' to a teacher "who had died in the hearts of students."
