The cops have intensified investigation in the case of students shouting pro-Pakistan slogans at the New Horizon Engineering College.

The three students have been instructed to attend a hearing again on Monday at 10 am.

Their mobile phones have been seized and sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for inspection. The cops are trying to ascertain whether there are any organisations involved and the students had any association with them. Details of calls made from the numbers of the students and calls received are being checked.

Their houses and rooms of residence have also been checked. The details retrieved from investigation have been shared with the National Investigation Agency (NIA) as the case is being looked at as a matter related to the security of the country. The slogans were raised by three first year engineering students Aryan, Dinakar and Riya Ravichandra
