Chennai, May 31 (IBNS) : A section of students of Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-Madras) are holding protests outside the campus condemning the attack on a PhD scholar at the institute on Tuesday allegedly by some students who were agitating against the "beef fest" organised the previous day.

According to media reports, the students are holding a protest march up to the IIT-Madras Dean's office and demanding that the attackers involved be expelled.


After the Madras High Court stayed the Centre's cattle slaughter ban move, Left groups as well as the DMK have opposed the beef ban.

The Revolutionary Students and Youth Front is also agitating against the attack on Sooraj and against the cattle slaughter ban in general. 

DMK working president MK Stalin and DMK leader Kanimozhi are leading protest against the Centre's cattle slaughter ban in Chennai.
