Arun, a first year degree student of philosophy, claimed he was dragged out from the class last evening and attacked by SFI activists as he was a member of Kerala Students Union, the students outfit of the Congress, police said.

Hailing from nearby Aryanad, he suffered injuries and is undergoing treatment at the state-run general hospital here.
