CHENNAI: City Police have arrested three college students for Thursday's ruckus atop the MTC bus. A group of youth climbed on the government bus and caused a public nuisance near Pachaiyappas College. Police sources said that the student group indulged in the nuisance after the college management allegedly prevented them from celebrating Pongal inside the college campus.

The arrested persons were identified as R Jeeva (20) of Red Hills, S Pavithran (20) of Kannigaipair near Thiruvallur and K Puviarasu (19) of Thirukandalam, Thiruvallur district.
