CMC denies arrest of its student in Hyd blasts case

Vellore, Tamil Nadu, Sep 3 (UNI) The Christian Medical College here today refuted reports in a section of the media that one of its girl students was arrested for her involvement in the August 25 Hyderabad twin bomb blasts.

Addressing newspersons here, CMC Director George M Chandy termed ''false'', the reports that a second year student of the college was arrested for the terrorist act.

''We wish to categorically state that we do not have any such student in the medical, nursing or allied health science courses in CMC, Vellore,'' Dr Chandy and college Principal Dr Jayaprakash Muliyil, who was also present, said.

However, if the police department sought any information from the college in this regard, the institution would extend all cooperation, Dr Chandy said.

The twin blasts that rocked 'Lumbini Park' and 'Gokul Chat' in the heart of Hyderabad claimed 43 lives and left many more injured.
