Hyderabad, November 08: Forty-eight hours after Anusha, the B.Com third-year student of Villa Marie college jumped to death in the college premises, the Punjagutta police are yet to arrive at a conclusion on whether the other four students drove her to end her life or was there any other reason.
Meanwhile, an organisation, Dalit Sthree Sakthi (DSS) has alleged that Anusha was being harassed on caste basis, after her friends came to know that she was a Dalit.
Though the police had registered a case under Section 306 IPC (abetment to commit suicide), investigation so far has not led the sleuths anywhere.
“The victim’s parents have alleged that a few other students were responsible for her suicide. But we have to investigate the matter thoroughly and can come to a conclusion only then,’’ West zone DCP C Ravi Varma told Express.
The police are going through the mobile phone details of Anusha.
The parents of Anusha had alleged that Anusha took the extreme step unable to bear the humiliation by her friends.
Anusha leaped to death from the fourth floor of Villa Marie college campus at Somajiguda on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Dalit Sthree Sakthi (DSS) has formed a fact-finding committee to go into the details of the case. The team met her parents, relatives, friends and also the police officials as part of their probe.
Bringing in a new twist to the case, the DSS members said that Anusha was a relative of Congress MLA R Varaprasad Rao, a supporter of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. “Of late, his closeness to Jagan and the media attention he grabbed revealed that he is a Dalit. From then onwards, Anusha was being harassed on caste-basis,’’ DSS members alleged.
The committee has submitted a report to Home Minister P Sabita Indra Reddy and Additional DGP (Law and Order) AK Khan and urged them to take measures to avoid recurrence of such incidents in future.
