Days after the attempted kidnap of a girl student at the University of Hyderabad, Vice-Chancellor Prof Ramakrishna Ramaswamy on Tuesday expressed concern and said they were working on improving security on the campus.

The Vice-Chancellor, who was out of town at the time of the incident, has taken stock of the situation upon his return Monday.

Following a meeting with students, he told City Express, “my prime concern now is security and we are working on it. We are also increasing lighting in the campus.” Asked about action being taken against one of the five culprits Chakrapani, who is an M.Tech student, he replied, “the police have apprehended all the five and they will face the full force of the law.

He hastened to add that exemplary action will be taken against those who violate the campus rules.

“They will surely be punished and there’s no way they can get away with it,” he said.
