Responding to a question from the media on how he gained entry to the campus, the minister said the accused was not stopped on suspicion by the security since he was probably a recognisable face. Chezhiaan added that the accused had visited the campus many times because his wife was earlier temporarily employed on the campus on a contractual basis. University sources said she was involved in maintenance-related work.
