The alleged ‘suicide’ of a dance teacher from Kannur who was a judge in a dance contest at Kerala University (KU) youth festival following “physical assault” by Students’ Federation of India (SFI) activists is proof that the students’ organisation is “a challenge” to the people of Kerala, Leader of the Opposition V.D. Satheesan has said.
Speaking to the media at North Paravur near here on March 14 (Thursday), Mr. Satheesan said the 51-year-old dance teacher was allegedly confined to a room and assaulted by SFI activists. “He left behind a note saying that he was innocent,” said Mr. Satheesan, referring to the death of P.N. Shaji who had reportedly consumed poison.
The police had recovered a suicide note in which he professed his innocence, denying the bribery charges against him.
