In what came as a twist in the ongoing blame game against SRM Group of Institutions and film producer Madhan, the varsity Registrar, N. Sethuraman, today submitted a petition at the Commissioner’s office against ‘false complaints’.

In his petition, he said the Group’s founder and chancellor T.R. Pachamuthu aka Parivendhar was being falsely dragged into the case, while the real culprit was Madhan, who has been missing.

Meanwhile, a principal sessions court today ordered the police to file a reply regarding the bail plea of Pachamuthu, which came up for hearing. After the police counsel asked for time to file a reply, the court adjourned the case to September 8.
