The body of Jishnu Pranoy (18), a first-year student at the Nehru College of Engineering, in Pampady in Thrissur district, was found hanging in the bathroom of the hostel in January after the college authorities allegedly harassed him after he was allegedly caught copying in an examination.
The arrest of the Chairman comes a day before the family members of Jishnu had planned to hold dharna in front of the DGP's office here.
The incident had triggered a series of protests across the state against managements of self financing colleges. PTI JRK
