The college has been accused of allegedly holding classes and other academic activities on campus despite being a two-week-long lockdown in the state due to the surge in coronavirus cases.
A curfew has been imposed in Karnataka from 9 pm of April 27 to 6 am on May 12.
Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on April 26 announced a two-week curfew in the state in view of the increasing number of the COVID-19 infection.
He yesterday appealed to people to follow the coronavirus related guidelines and stay indoors amid the pandemic-induced lockdown in the state.
"The 2-weeks strict rules to break the chain of Covid virus have begun. My appeal to everyone: follow the guidelines, cooperate with the govt, stay indoors, and step out only if it's an emergency. Together, we all can defeat the Covid-19 pandemic," Yediyurappa tweeted.
