Expelled Dalit student ends life in University of Hyderabad
He alongwith his four other Dalit friends were suspended from the university last year.
HYDERABAD (Web Desk) – An expelled Dalit student committed suicide on Sunday in University of Hyderabad (UoH).
The student took the step when his demand for reinstatement went futile.
The 25-year-old resident of Guntur, Rohith Vemula, was doing his PhD in science technology and society studies.
He alongwith his four other Dalit friends were suspended from the university last year in August over their involvement in a row between two student groups.
All the four students were on hunger strike and were sleeping in the open from the last two weeks.
A probe has been initiated into the incident whereas the university students are holding protests against Rohith Vemula’s suicide.
The students have accused the administration for forcing the scholar to commit suicide.
