First-year dental student R.L. Nithin Raj, from Thiruvananthapuram, died after falling from a building at Anjarakandy Dental College in Kannur (a district in the southern Indian state of Kerala), in what authorities are treating as a suspected suicide. His family has alleged he faced caste-based and racial harassment from fellow students as well as mistreatment by teachers. The student organisation ABVP (Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad) has filed a formal complaint with a Union minister and the National Medical Commission, demanding a transparent investigation and accountability for those responsible.
