Uppinangady: Police raid colleges, recover mobile phones from students
Uppinangady: In view of the misuse of the mobile phones by the students in private colleges in Puttur, the police on Monday raided various colleges and recovered 24 mobile phones from the students here. The police conducted the raids in order to implement the mobile ban norms effectively inside the college campuses.
Sub inspector Nanda Kumar led police team raided the Uppinangadi government first grade college and PU college and searched for mobile phones from the students and recovered 24 mobile phones from them. The police also raided the suspected shops near the colleges where the students keep their mobile phones.
'Don't spoil your future'
Addressing the students after the raid, the police officer said that the future of the students was at stake due to irrational usage of mobile phones and drug addiction like ganja. He explained adverse effects of obscene videos, drugs and others. Students should take care about their future. If the students found using mobile phones, the police would take action, he said.
Students tried to cheat police
Police informed the students to bring their parents to get their mobile phones back. Some students brought their parents, while others brought strangers as their parents and thus tried to cheat the police. Learning the fact, the police said that students should bring identity proofs to prove the identity of their parents. This however disappointed the students who tried to cheat the police.

The arrests followed an attempted march by JNUSU members, who had gathered at Sabarmati T-Point on the campus and sought to move towards the education ministry as part of ongoing protests over JNU Vice Chancellor Santishree Dhulipudi Pandit's recent remarks on a podcast over the implementation of UGC norms, rustication of JNUSU office bearers, and the proposed Rohith Act.
Police personnel, however, stopped the protesters at the heavily barricaded university gates, leading to a scuffle.
A total of 51 protesters, including Mishra and Kumar, were detained on Thursday evening, with Delhi Police claiming that the students resorted to physical assault, injuring several of its personnel, during the confrontation.
In a statement, the students' union called for a complete university strike and reiterated allegations of police excess during the march.
It claimed that 13 students, including three office-bearers, were detained and several students were "brutally attacked and injured", while a portrait of B. R. Ambedkar was damaged during the police action.
Among its demands, the JNUSU has sought the immediate and unconditional release of all, resignation of the vice-chancellor, action against police personnel over the alleged desecration of Ambedkar's portrait, and withdrawal of proctorial actions and FIRs against student activists.
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers Association (JNUTA) had earlier condemned the police action.
