"ACP Narayanamurthy and inspector Sekar Babu have been suspended while four Sub-Inspectors have been transferred out of Chennai," Chennai police commissioner R Sekhar said.
The arrested students were remanded to custody, he said.
Meanwhile, the police have detained a few persons in connection with the burning of a bus here in the wee hours of Thursday. Sekhar ruled out any connection between the Law College incident and the bus burning episode, and said it was an "ffshoot" of an incident relating to damaging of an Ambedkar statue.
Poilce sources said the incident was the follow up of a caste related clash between the two groups.
