The staff and students of SRM University campus in Ramapuram were shocked as K Thenamudhan (22) of Rajbai Nagar in Avadi managed to enter the institution breaching the security and attacked Sujatha (name changed), a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) student.

Police said that the accused is a graduate and became friends with the victim on social media. “They were in a relationship for a few months, after which the girl snapped ties citing his behaviour,” said police.

The accused shoved her against a wall and slapped her,” said sources.

But fellow students overpowered Thenamudhan. Based on a complaint from the college management, Royala Nagar police have registered a case and recorded the victim’s statement. Thenamudhan was arrested and remanded in judicial custody.
