Some students hailing from Pachaiyappa's College and Ambedkar Arts and Science College were caught on camera during celebrations.
An annual event in Chennai, The Madras High Court had in 2011, came down heavily on the celebrations as it caused serious inconvenience to the public and damage to public property.
