Police Shift Protesting Students at Kalady Sanskrit University to Hospital

Kochi: Police shifted students on an indefinite hunger strike at Sree Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit, Kalady, protesting against what they termed an unjust suspension, to hospital.

The students will first be taken to the Angamaly Taluk Hospital for medical examination and then shifted to Little Flower Hospital.

The students being moved are PM Ashwanth, KV Abhijith and PS Archana, who had been staging the hunger strike in front of the university, demanding basic infrastructure facilities and an end to what they described as victimisation by the university authorities.

Three other students — Shiva, Shraddha and Athulya — will continue the hunger strike in their place. The SFI said the protest would continue under all circumstances and that it would not withdraw from the agitation.
