They will be produced in court on Wednesday. 
 
 Pathrabe's  First Information Report names 17 students, including three girls who have not been arrested till now.
 
The director filed a police complaint after he was held captive in his office for seven hours on Monday by students who refused to let him go until they were heard.
 
 Pathrabe finally called the police; students claim they were mistreated and manhandled.
