The case was that the petitioners, Padamaraja and others, demanding release of some refugees from the camp, organised a hunger strike on February 2.
When it was on, police tried to persuade them to withdraw the fast.
It was alleged that enraged at the police’s efforts, the petitioners detained the police personnel and attacked them. They were arrested and remanded to judicial custody.
Justice S. Nagamuthu said having regard to the fact that the injured police personnel had been discharged from hospital and that the petitioners were, after all, refugees from Sri Lanka, he was inclined to grant bail on very stringent conditions.
