Nine students arrested for anti-Modi puzzle in college magazine

As many as nine students of the Sree Krishna College in Kerala's Guruvayur were arrested for publishing offensive and unpleasant language against Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, which was otherwise arrayed as a crossword puzzle.

All those 9 have been released on bail soon after they were arrested. These 9 included Student Editor of the magazine, its sub-editors and members of the editorial advisory committee, the police said. They had been charged under various Sections of the Indian Penal Code including 153. The Guruvyaur Sree Krishna temple managing committee, which runs the college, had sought an explanation from the principal in connection with the case.

It is worth recollecting that a similar case has been booked against the college magazine of a government college in Kerala for publishing the name of Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India, under the feature Negative Faces. A government Polytechnic college at Kujur in Kerala runs a college magazine. A feature was published in the Magazine under the title Negative Faces on June 4. The feature talks about the most cruel people in the world and included the names of Osama Bin Laden, the former Chief of Al Qaeda, Ajmal Kasab, the accused in Mumbai Blasts, Veerappan, Sandalwood Smuggler, Prabhakaran, the LTTE Chief, Hitler, the dictator of Germany et al. Astoundingly the list allegedly includes the name of Modi, according to the police.

Based on a complaint received from a person, the police have registered a case against the editorial team of the ibid magazine. It is learnt that the magazine is run under the influence of the students oriented towards Marxism.
