One of the seven students of Hyderabad Central University, sitting on an indefinite hunger strike for past four days following the alleged suicide by a Dalit research scholar, was today taken away from the protest camp to the varsity's health centre after she felt unwell.

The health condition of the 26-year-old student, Vaikhari Aryat, is stable, doctors attending to her said.

"We have requested them to give up the hunger strike (in view of the health condition). We have called the medical
officer to check their health condition. She (Aryat) was feeling giddy and has been taken to our health centre for
first-aid," a senior security official of Hyderabad Central University said.

When contacted, Dr C Gangadhar of the university's health centre said, "We are giving her IV fluids and her condition is
stable now."

Mild tension prevailed on the campus when she was being taken to the health centre.
