Here is blow by blow account of trouble that brewed up on the second day of National Conference on Free Software 2008 in Cochin university. The activists put up posters against the Novell Corp (the main sponsor of this event) at the Free Software exhibition complex.
The organisers called up Kochi police and man handled Anivar Aravind a former student of the Cochin University and a well known free software activist.
Update: Adding few more pictures
These images are captured using mobile phone cameras by Arky and few others (names withheld for privacy and security concerns).

Peaceful Protest After the Incident
Pictures of peaceful protest outside the CUSAT Open Air Auditorium after the man handling incident. Later Joy Job Kulaveli and Sri. Chandramohankumar Registrar, CUSAT,
demanded the protesters to leave the place, (in a very undemocratic and arrogant manner), and
the protesters left peacefully.
