Vijayawada: An Intermediate senior student of Narayana IIT College at Gudavalli allegedly committed suicide by hanging at his hostel room on Sunday.

According to reports, the boy was identified as P Eswar Reddy of Piduguralla in Guntur district. He was chided by a lecturer during the examination on Sunday morning. The lecturer scolded him for indulging in mass copying. The lecturer was also thrashed him, it was alleged.

Unable to cope with the insult meted out to him at the hands of lecturer, the hurt student directly went to his hostel room from the examination venue and hanged from ceiling fan.

The incident rocked the student fraternity as they have been agitating for Minister Narayana’s scalp. The body of student was at Kamineni Hospitals where the students and leaders of student unions gathered.

The students alleged that action was not taken against the college management as it belonged to Minister Narayana. They accused him of misusing authority to suppress such cases of student suicides. The students raised slogans against the Minister and demanded that the Chief Minister remove him from the Cabinet. 

The Minister was not showing much interest in the college affairs and as a result the students are being treated badly at his institutions, the agitating students alleged.Both the college management and the police are not available to the media to take their version in this case.
