Cases had been registered against four students, associated with the magazine, its Principal M N Krishnan Kutty, staff Editor Gopi and the owner of a printing press for offences under Indian Penal Code (IPC) including concealing design to commit offence, wantonly giving provocation, punishment for defamation and printing matter known to be defamatory.
The campus magazine for 2013-14 was released on June 4 and one of its pages titled 'negative faces' featured a photograph of Modi. Others figuring in the collage include, sandalwood smuggler Veerappan, LTTE supremo V Prabhakaran, Adolf Hitler, Al-Qaeda chief Laden and George W. Bush , police said.
The magazine was brought out by a team of campus editors of the institution, whose student union is controlled by a pro-Left campus outfit.
The polytechnic authorities hinted that the magazine would be withdrawn as it has sparked a controversy.
Local BJP workers staged a protest and burnt copies of the controversial magazine.
