Madurai: 29.04.2018

The wife of arrested Madurai Kamaraj University assistant professor V Murugan on Saturday claimed that there was a threat to her family if they revealed the names of the real culprits in the scandal involving Arupukottai Devanga Arts College assistant professor Nirmala Devi.

Suja Murugan told reporters here that her husband was innocent and he had been made a scapegoat to protect the real culprits. “The real offenders are at the Madurai Kamaraj University and there is a threat to our lives if we reveal their names. Let the Santhanam committee and the CB-CID find out the truth,’’ she said.

She said it was former research scholar Karuppasamy who had introduced Nirmala Devi to her husband. Devi met Murugan when he was made the incharge of room allocation for the participants of a refresher course conducted by the university. She had also come with Karuppasamy to meet Murugan after her suspension for seeking his help, Suja said.
