The Ruhuna University students and the Matara Police have been at loggerheads since police personnel assaulted a group of students who took the University's Vice Chancellor as a hostage in June this year.
The Ruhuna University Students Union said a second year student of the university, who is a member of the union, was arrested by the police on Wednesday (11) evening.
The Union Secretary Duminda Tharaka told the local media today that the arrested student, Rohan Pradeep Kumara, a student of the Management and Finance Faculty was arrested for failing to appear in court for a case filed against him by the university administration.
The Matara Police earlier arrested another student union leader from the University for allegedly holding the Vice Chancellor hostage in June this year. The Police say they were on the look out for nine other union members who were allegedly involved in the incident.
