Six out of seven people were arrested over assaulting a 50-year-old person, while he came to pick up his daughter in Madurai Meenal Women College in Tamil Nadu's Madurai.
The police made arrests on Saturday after a complaint was registered at Madurai Sellur Police Station. "One out of six arrested is a college student," officials said.
According to the police, a group of youngsters were creating a ruckus, approaching the Women's College in an allegedly inebriated condition.

Pertaining to the matter, a case was registered against seven people at Madurai Sellur Police Station.

We have directed the police to patrol the areas where the girls' college is located," Mohan Raj added.
Following the incident, the police have tightened the security near all the women's colleges in Madurai.
