Parents Allege Ragging by Senior Students
The victim’s father, Balaram, alleged that the college management had assured them that only first-year students would be present on the campus. However, he claimed that second-year students were also allowed, which may have led to ragging.

- The body was shifted to Gandhi Hospital without their knowledge
- They were told the student died by hanging from a window, but were not shown proper evidence
They accused both the college management and police of failing to provide clear answers.

The student’s mother, Nagalakshmi, revealed that her son had earlier shared his emotional distress with her during phone conversations. She said he appeared disturbed but never mentioned any intention of harming himself.
This revelation has intensified calls for a thorough and transparent investigation.

Rising Concerns Over Student Safety

- Ragging in educational institutions

- Mental health support for young students
