Imphal, May 27 (ANI): Normal life came to a standstill in Imphal on Tuesday after the students' union gave a call for a 24-hour shutdown to protest against the killing of a professor of Manipur University.

 

56 year-old Mohammad Islamudin, a professor of economics and former Dean of Students' Welfare, was gunned down by unidentified persons on Monday in the university campus at Canchipur.

 

Earlier, the Pangal Students' Organisation (PSO) had called for a 24-hour shutdown all over Manipur to protest against the brutal murder of their professor whom they held in high esteem.
