Mangalore, April 17: Vittala Malekudiya, who is in judicial custody on charges of being an alleged Naxal sympathizer, on Tuesday appeared for second semester internal assessment examination conducted by the Mass Communication and Journalism Department of Mangalore University.

The 22-year-old student, who was arrested on March 3 along with his father at his house in Kuthlur in Belthangady taluk by Anti Naxal Force, turned emotional on seeing the campus for the first time after one-and-a-half month.

He wrote the examination amidst tight security, as five police personnel armed with heavy guns, were watching him from near the door of the examination hall.

As soon as he submitted the answer script and stepped out of the examination hall, police hand cuffed him and took him back in the same jeep.

The Judicial Magistrate First Class Court, Belthangady, on Monday had directed the Mangalore University Vice-Chancellor Prof T C Shivashankara Murthy to permit Mr Malekudiya to appear examinations.

The court had also directed the Mangalore sub-jail authorities to make arrangements for the student to write the tests on April 17, 18, 19 and 20. As per the court's order authorities had arranged for police escort for him on Tuesday.

The internal assessment tests had begun on Monday. However, Vittala was not able to write the test on the first day as the court had reserved order for Monday.
