AIADMK students wing members detained for bid to stage protest in front of Anna University

CHENNAI: Scores of AIADMK Students’ wing members were detained by the police here on Monday when they attempted to stage a protest in front of Anna University here demanding justice for a student sexually assaulted on the university campus in December last year.

The protesters made a bid to distribute black bands to the students and public as a mark of support to the affected students and to garner the attention of the state government to arrest the real perpetrator, an AIADMK member said.

Police, however, detained all of them as they were denied permission to hold the protest.
