Commission faults college management, report to be submitted soon
Former Minister and Narayana educational group director P. Narayana has been named as the first accused (A1) in the FIR of a case pertaining to the suicide of a student, which saw light in Kadapa recently. Mr. Narayana’s name has been entered into the police records following the suicide of M. Srinivasulu Reddy, a second year Intermediate BiPC student. In spite of being the State topper for the first year, the boy took his life allegedly owing to ‘academic pressure’, which he had scribbled on his hand before resorting to the extreme step. With the Andhra Pradesh School Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission (APSERMC) Chairman Justice R. Kantha Rao forming a fact-finding committee to investigate the issue, a three-member team comprising Vice-Chairman Vijaya Sarada Reddy, members V. Narayana Reddy and B. Eswaraiah visited the campus here on Saturday. After a prolonged interaction with the students, student union leaders and parents, the panel came to the conclusion that the barbaric behaviour of the teachers and wardens had indeed become unbearable for the victim.More Related News
