Rohith Vemula Suicide Case

Hyderabad : Rohith Vemula, who had committed suicide in Hyderabad Central University last year, was not a Dalit, said the inquiry commission probing the matter.

The report has been made public by former Allahabad High Court judge Justice AK Roopanwal. It also states that Rohith Vemula committed suicide due to his personal reasons.

The report said, “His suicide note is on the record which shows that Rohith Vemula had his own problems and was not happy with worldly affairs…. He was frustrated for the reasons best known to him. He did not blame anybody for his suicide.”

The report added, “If he would have been angry with the decision of the university, certainly either he would have written in specific words or would have indicated in this regard. But he did not do the same. It shows that the circumstances prevailing in the university at that time were not the reasons for committing the suicide.”

Rohith Vemula had committed suicide by hanging himself in the hostel room in 2016. His suicide had led to a massive nationwide protest in the country.
