Suspended assistant professor from Madurai Kamaraj University (MKU) V Murugan and former research scholar from the university S Karuppusamy, who were arrested in connection with a sex scandal case, were released from the Madurai Central Prison on Wednesday after bail was granted by the Supreme Court last week.
After his release, Murugan said that it was a false case foisted against him and he will fight it out legally.
Their family members and relatives turned up at the prison , where they were lodged for the past 10 months. The case was registered in April 2018 by the Aruppukkottai town police station under various sections including attempt to traffic girls after an audio tape containing conversation between Devangar Arts College assistant professor Nirmala Devi and girls students went viral.
Devi had allegedly tried to lure a group of girls to have sex with higher officials from the MKU. She had offered marks and monetary benefits in return. The trio were arrested by the police and the case was subsequently taken over by the CB-CID police. The incident became sensational as it dragged the governor’s office into the scandal. It forced governor Banwarilal Purohit to clarify that his office had nothing to do with the incident.
Murugan and Karuppsamy could not get bail despite repeated petitions in the Srivilliputhur court. They moved the Madurai bench of Madras high court but did not get any respite. On February 14, the Supreme Court granted bail to both of them. However, Devi is still lodged in the prison.
