the object and identify whether it is a meteorite. They have agreed to 
come here on Monday," Superintendent of Police (SP) of Vellore PK Senthil 
Kumari told The New Indian Express.

The object was found by Vellore police with the help of a team from ISRO, 
behind the college canteen, according to TNIE.
 
Another meteorite was suspected to have fallen 18-20 km away from the 
college on January 26, 2016. Some experts suggest that it could not have 
been a meteor as their shower was not expected till April.
