Kalpetta: DYSP said that steps have been taken to issue a lookout notice for the 11 absconding accused in the incident in which a student was found dead after being brutally beaten up in Pookod Veterinary College. T.N. Sajeev told the media.
A mob trial was held against Siddharth. When asked by mediapersons if the college union office-bearers were among those arrested yesterday in the case, the DYSP said that nothing can be said about it now. No investigation has been conducted at that level. This is a crime. An investigation related to that crime has been conducted. No political affiliation has been investigated.
The incident took place in the hostel. They are the inmates of that hostel. Not those who have organized from anywhere else. The same children who were in the hostel. A student named Rahan called Siddharth when he had gone home. Now it cannot be said whether there has been any lapse on the part of the college authorities. No such investigation has been found so far.
The DYSP did not give a clear answer to the allegation that even after the police investigation started, the accused students in the case were still in the hostel. It was the children who were suspended when the investigation began. Kalpetta DYSP said that 12 people were also suspended from the hostel.
B.V.S.C. Siddhartha (21), a second-year student from Nedumangad, Thiruvananthapuram, was found dead in the bathroom of the hostel on February 18. Siddharth had to face a brutal beating and a mob trial in the college due to an argument in the college on Valentine’s Day. It was alleged that he was continuously beaten without even giving food for three days. The post-mortem report showed evidence that Siddharth was kicked on the ground on the chest and stomach and strangled with something around his neck. On the neck, there is a two-day-old wound besides the hanging mark.
The classmates had testified that they were beaten up by a group led by the college union president with an electric wire. It is suspected that the injury may have been caused by strangulation of the neck with an electric wire. It is clear in the post-mortem report that the student’s abdomen and chest were marked with footprints and thumb. Relatives say that his intestines were also injured. Apart from the electric wire, he was also beaten with a belt. There are scars from belt buckles on many parts of the body.
