The siblings who are majoring in fourth year M Tech film and electronics media studies were booked based on a complaint from K Karnamaharajan, their head of the department. They were identified as R John Vimal, 22, R John William, 21, from Nagamalai Pudukottai, their father D Rajkumar, 48, and relative R Jaswanth, 20. They were charged under Section 506 (i) for threatening with dire consequences and under the sections of Information Technology Act, 2000.
Police said Karnamaharajan filed a complaint stating the students hacked his system and published obscene information in electronic form. He alleged that they spread false information depicting him in bad light on social media. Their family members also demanded ₹20 lakh from him However, Vimal denied the charges alleging Karnamaharajan attacked him due to a personal vendetta after a verbal argument broke out between them. He said the lecturer turned vengeful after he questioned him for not reevaluating his answer sheets despite applying for the same.
“The head of the department has failed me in three papers last year deliberately. An application for revaluation has not been accepted yet,” the student said. He had filed a police complaint a couple of weeks ago against Karnamaharajan, but they were yet to take any action, he said.
Another student, seeking anonymity, acknowledged that the department is mired in controversies over the purchase of electronic equipment and the recognition to the ongoing M Tech course.
