Nine students of the Sree Krishna college in Guruvayur of Kerala were today arrested in a case pertaining to their campus magazine containing unsavoury remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Police said those arrested included Student Editor of the magazine, its sub-editors and editorial advisory committee members. Later they were released on bail.

The Guruvyaur Sree Krishna temple managing committee, which runs the college, had sought an explanation from the principal in connection with the case.

This was the second such case reported from the area after the campus magazine of a polytechnic college featured Modi in the list of negative faces along with Adolf Hitler, Osama bin Laden, George Bush and a few other figures.
