Great decision. Should disallow to continue university studies as well!

Very good move. I was in the same university from 1982 to 1991 the delay being due to the civil unrest in the country. Most of the university students are helpless . Only a handful of thugs do this sort of things. They should be punished.

Suspension should be from the university and not the sentence.
