    Hope that he is not being made a scape goat. now a days people use innocent names to escape. what if he is not the culprit. who will pay for the reputation of this young man if this news is false. I guess the hostel management is at fault, since they have no measures in place, that a man can easily get into the ladies toilets to fix such devices. looks like many more people involved with this incident including some girls.

    Students life is always full of actions. Here Santhosh M, has done the mischief of keeping mobile in the ladies toilet is not in good taste and should be condemned.

    In our times, in some co ed colleges, boys have done some healthy mischief with their girls class mates/college mates and finally some have turned to be good friends. Here with Santhosh, I am sure, there might be a challenge within his peer group ( might be girls & boys) for this mischief.

    Request authorities, not to spoil his career rather give him a stern warning. The authorities should remember they were also once students and all those who comments here very rudely, negatively against this students, as if they are Saints, are they free from blemish.?

    I hope Santhosh career will not be harmed. Hope wisdom prevails with the authorities.
