Women and minors are being held in custody as Sections 307 and 353 have been applied to them, unfairly it is alleged. Presently nine are in judicial custody of which there are foir women and seven students of which three young women and men, many of whom were giving their public services examinations the day they were arrested. One student is an MTech student.
