Kanhaiya Kumar reaches Hyderabad

March 23, 2016 12:00

Just in: JNUSU president Kanhaiya Kumar reaches Hyderabad to join protesting students at Hyderabad Central University. This is the university where Dalit student Rohith Vemula, who committed suicide in January, went to.

Twenty-five students were arrested over violence at the Hyderabad campus yesterday. Students barged into Vice Chancellor Professor Appa Rao Podile's office, broke window panes, smashed doors and a television among other items, protesting against his resumption of duty.

Podile, who is in the eye of a storm over Vemula's suicide, had gone on leave on January 24 as the agitating students demanded his resignation and held vigorous protests seeking "justice' for Vemula.
