Twenty days have passed since second-year veterinary student Sidharthan was found dead in the men’s hostel washroom on their campus, but students at the Pookode College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences in Kerala would rather not talk about him yet.
“We don’t want any trouble,” a student says, as she prepares to leave the campus with packed bags, anxious to get home. Amid constant protests and conflicts between political parties and the police following Sidharthan’s death, the university has allotted the students a five-day break from the campus.
