Student groups at the University of Hyderabad, including SFI and ASA, demanded an independent probe into events leading to the alleged suicide of student Mayukh Kundu. They alleged he was publicly humiliated over laptop theft accusations before his death. The 23-year-old student’s body was recovered from a campus pond, while police said he denied involvement in the theft.
Hyderabad: SFI and other student groups at the University of Hyderabad on Thursday demanded that the university administration constitute an independent fact-finding committee into the events leading to the alleged suicide of a student earlier this week.
A student leader, meanwhile, claimed that the deceased student, Mayukh Kundu, secured an internship at the IIT Hyderabad and that he was supposed to join it on the day his body was found.
The SFI, Ambedkar Students Association (ASA) and other groups alleged in a joint statement that a group of students affiliated with another student group assembled outside a hostel on the night of May 17 on the pretext of taking action against Kundu, who was accused of laptop theft and he was subjected to humiliation.
The unions demanded time-bound action against those allegedly responsible for the "assault, coercion and public humiliation" of Kundu.
