Kerala College Agrees to Probe After Student Protests Over Arunachal Student's Death
Protests at Mar Athanasius College of Engineering in Kerala ended after management agreed to investigate the death of a 20-year-old Arunachal Pradesh student found dead on August 15. Students had raised 12 demands, including aligning credit requirements with university norms and providing financial assistance to the deceased's family. The college assured no disciplinary action against protesters and extended the student union's term. An internal inquiry committee will examine the circumstances of the death and the demands within a week.
