Kerala University vice chancellor denies permission for Sunny Leone show

The vice-chancellor of Kerala University has denied permission for a dance performance by Bollywood actor Sunny Leone, according to reports in Malayalam media.

The show was to happen on the University College of Engineering campus in state capital Thiruvananthapuram on July 5. Kerala University vice chancellor Dr Mohanan Kunnummal instructed the registrar to ensure that the college university does not include Leone’s show in the programme list, Manorama and Mathrubhumi reported.

In November last year, four students died and over 60 were injured in a stampede-like situation at a concert in Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) in Kerala’s Ernakulam district.
