The arrested are Dhanraj, Yathin, Deepak (24), Nithin (23), Mokshit (24), Ashwin (22), Kishan (22), and Dhanush (26).

Besides arresting Dhanraj Poojary, the police also arrested Dhanraj, a Std X student, at 11:00 a.m. and thrashed him. The students, therefore, complained against police officers for torturing students without getting full information.
