Kakinada police say a protest on September 7 by Shyam Institute aspirants for constable and sub‑inspector posts lacked permission. Director G. Shyam denies instigating the demonstration and says officers entered the institute without prior communication.
Kakinada city police registered cases against Shyam Institute director G. Shyam and 20 students for staging an unauthorised protest on September 7.
Mr. Shyam says police entered the institute without prior communication and calls the allegation that he instigated the protest baseless.
On September 7, scores of students associated with the Shyam Institute staged a protest in Kakinada demanding the notification for a large recruitment of Constable and Sub‑Inspector posts. The next day, Kakinada city police registered cases against the institute's director, G. Shyam, and 20 of the institute's students. The charge: staging a protest without obtaining police permission.
Police moved onto the Shyam Institute campus on Tuesday morning. According to the report, their arrival and subsequent actions created tension on campus. The institute's management says police entered without prior communication.
G. Shyam held a press conference following the raid. He denied instigating the students to protest and described the police allegation as baseless. He said he is willing to hand over any information the police request but asked that authorities establish his precise role in the protest before carrying out a raid on the institute.
The registration of the case names the director and 20 students. Tension was reported on campus when police reached the institute without notifying the management beforehand. The story does not report arrests, charges beyond the unauthorised protest allegation, or details about any follow‑up actions by the police after case registration.
The named students are preparing for state police recruitment. Their stated aim in the protest was to press for release of the recruitment notification for a "mega" hiring drive for constables and sub‑inspectors. The registration of cases may affect those students' immediate plans and adds legal jeopardy to a protest that began as a demand for official action on recruitment.
