Controversy over student’s suicide refuses to die down

Even as the students of Amal Jyothi College, Kanjirappally, suspended their agitation on an intervention by the State government, the controversy over the suicide of Shraddha Satheesh continued to rage further on Thursday.

A day after the State government announced a Crime Branch probe into the death, the police confirmed the recovery of a suicide note left by the victim. “The note, however, does not specify any reasons for her taking the extreme step. The cell phone and laptop used by the victim have been sent for a forensic examination,” said K. Karthik, District Police Chief, Kottayam.

As to the criticisms on the delay in interrogating the college staff accused of abetting the suicide, the official clarified that it would be carried out in due course of the probe.
