TIMES NEWS NETWORK 21.04.2018
Madurai: A judicial magistrate court at Sattur in Virudhunagar district on Friday granted five days custody of Aruppukkottai college assistant professor Nirmala Devi, who is at the centre of the Madurai Kamaraj University scandal, to the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID).
She is accused of luring four college girls to offer sexual favours to top officials of the university.
The CB-CID had filed a petition before the Sattur JM II court on Thursday seeking nine days custody of Nirmala Devi.
There were tense moments on Friday when she was greeted by slogan-raising members of AIDWA and other womens organisations and protests by advocates demanding proper inquiry into the issue, as she arrived from Madurai Central Prison. She was later guided to the court with the help of additional police personnel.
Judicial magistrate Geetha granted the CB-CID Devi’s custody for five days from 2pm on Friday till 2pm on April 25.
The police were expected to keep her in Virudhunagar and bring her to the Madurai court during the course of the inquiry. The CB-CID had sought nine days custody but was given only five days.
Meanwhile, IAS officer R Santhanam, who is heading the one-man commission into the matter, and the two women professors picked to assist him, Dr Kamali and Dr S Thyageswari, arrived at Devanga Arts College in Aruppukottai on Friday and conducted inquiries.
Representatives of the college’s management as well as some faculty members and students were questioned. Santhanam said that the four students with whom Nirmala Devi had the controversial telephonic conversation would be questioned.
A person from Aruppukottai had submitted a written petition to the commission which would also be taken up for inquiry, he added.
The commission would carry out its investigations in Madurai on Saturday.
On the other hand, a team of CB-CID officials also arrived at MKU and conducted inquiries in connection with the case.
