Governor P. Sathasivam summoned Vice Chancellor of Kerala University V.P. Officials said the Governor, who is the Chancellor, reportedly sought an explanation from Mr. Pillai in person about the scam. An official said the Governor had made a rare break with university customs by summoning Mr. Pillai directly. He is the main accused in a case relating to the near-fatal knife attack on University College student Akhil Chandran on July 12. KSU activists attempted to block Mr. Pillai as his car came out of Raj Bhavan.
