Hyderabad varsity student hangs self
HYDERABAD, Sep 18, 2016, DHNS:
A first semester student at the Sarojini Naidu School of Arts and Communication, University of Hyderabad, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his hostel room on Saturday.
The student, N Praveen Kumar, suicide comes months after Rohith Vemula, a second year research scholar, committing suicide on the campus alleging caste discrimination.
Praveen was found hanging by his roommate, also classmate, when he returned from the painting studio. The roommate found the room locked from inside. When Praveen did not open the door despite several knocks, his roommate alerted other hostel inmates. Together they managed to open the latch through the ventilator.
Praveen was immediately shifted to the University Health Centre. “He was brought to the health centre but there was no pulse. Duty doctor K Gangadhar gave CPR and sent him in ambulance to Citizen Hospital where he was declared brought dead,” said chief health officer Dr Ravindra Kumar.
Police recovered two note books from his room, along with a laptop, a tab and two mobile phones. In one of the notes, Praveen wrote a few lines about his feelings, loneliness and the troubles he faced academically.
Naveen’s father, N Narasimhulu, a BSNL employee, said that his son is not weak hearted and demanded a thorough probe. Praveen’s brother N Naveen also said that his brother had no financial problems either.
