We had arrested Chaudhary and two other lecturers,but released them on bail. We will arrest Sindhav under the provisions of Atrocity Act on Monday,as he has been accused of uttering expletives and using bad words for Chaudharys caste.

Meanwhile,Chaudhary said,Sindhav often uses derogatory words. However,I could not tolerate it when he used bad words over my caste and approached the Chhota Udepur police.

On the other hand,Sindhav said: I have been framed. In fact,the lecturer tried to attack me on April 2 in the campus while I was returning from work.
