KOCHI: The Kalamassery police registered a case against 14 SFI activists after a clash erupted between students residing at the Sahara hostel of Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) in the wee hours of Saturday.

Abhinav was shifted to the Government Medical College in Kalamassery. The police visited the hospital and recorded his statement based on which a case was registered against the 14 accused persons.
