Just hours after the Telangana Police closed the case on Rohith Vemula’s death, the office of the Telangana DGP issued a statement announcing the state’s decision to initiate a re-investigation into the case. This move follows doubts expressed by Rohith’s mother, Radhika Vemula.
Hyderabad : Amidst the ongoing circulation of news stories and reports across various media platforms regarding Crime No.20/2016 of Gachibowli Police Station, Cyberabad, concerning the tragic suicide of Hyderabad Central University student Rohit Vemula on 17.01.2016, it’s imperative to clarify certain aspects.
