The Kerala police have booked the former principal and two teachers of a Kochi university over a stampede that killed four people at the institute in November, police officers familiar with the matter said on Saturday.
According to the officer, the three have been booked after a probe into the incident at the Cochin University of Science and Technology (CUSAT) during an annual tech festival revealed "grave lapses" on their part.
"The accused, including former principal Dipak Kumar Sahoo and two teachers have been booked under Section 304A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code. The investigation has pointed to lapses on the part of the organising team of the tech fest, which includes the accused," the police officer said on the condition of anonymity.
The police have submitted a detailed probe report into the incident before the Kalamassery judicial first class magistrate court.
