On Friday, MSF workers waved a huge flag similar to the Pakistan national flag on the campus as part of the college union election campaign.
Widespread protests erupted after a video of the incident went viral on social media. Following this, the BJP took out a protest march to the campus demanding action against the students. The Perambra police have booked 30 MSF workers under IPC Section 153 (make provocation with the intention to cause riot) in connection with the incident.  The case was registered based on the 26-second video. The students will be grilled in the coming days, said a police officer, adding the probe team is mainly checking the intention behind the use of the flag.
