According to reports, the two accused gave a statement which claimed that there were problems between Akhil's gang and their gang for over a week.
Meanwhile, during raids at houses of main accused Sivaranjith, police found four bundles of unused answer sheets belonging to the University of Kerala to which the college is affiliated. Officials also found a seal of the physical education director.
When police questioned Sivaranjith regarding the answer sheets, he said that he stole unused answer sheets from college because previous experiences with college authorities had led to animosity and that this was an act of vindictiveness.
However, police still believe that Sivaranjith took the unused answer sheets with the motive of using it for copying in exams.
Police also reported that the seal of the physical education director found in Sivaranjith's house is fake.
