Amal Jyothi College of Engineering is a highly reputed and most sought after self financing institution in Kerala, with all necessary affiliations and top ratings from the concerned accreditation bureaus. The college that usually attracts the attention of the general public and the media with its remarkable achievements and activities, has become a center of news since yesterday owing to the sad and unfortunate suicide committed by a girl student, and the planned violence that was carried out by some students after 3 days of the incident!
Shraddha Suresh was a native of Thiruvankulam in Ernakulam district. She was a second year student in food technology. The college reopened after a month's vacation on 1st of June and Shradha arrived in the college hostel on that day. On that day the exam results were published by the university. When tabulated the theory results of 3 semesters she had failed in 12 out of 16 subjects. Probably this might have caused despair to a great extend.
On the next day (June 2nd), She was found using a mobile phone in the lab class, which was forbidden. The phone was grabbed by the teacher as per the university norms and handed over to the HOD. And the HOD phoned to her parents to inform them these matters.
In the evening Shraddha's mother phoned to her roommate's phone number and intended to talk with her daughter. But she declined to talk to her mother. Later when her roommates went for dinner, she did not go with them and when they returned, they saw her door was bolted from inside. When there was no response to the knocks, they peeped through the window and found she was about to die. The friends screamed and shouted and and called others and together they all broke open the door and rushed her to the nearby Hospital immediately.
On the way to the hospital, her parents were informed that she was not feeling well and being taken to a hospital, and the Kottayam S P all what had happened. On reaching the hospital the doctors examined her and declared dead. The parents came at night. Then the body was placed in the hospital mortuary. The next morning the police came and conducted inquest and moved the body to the Kottayam medical college where the post mortem was carried out.
Later that evening the body was taken to her home and the funeral was conducted. From the college many of her friends and teachers attended the funeral.
After 3 days, IE yesterday on 5th some students and media gathered in the college and started creating unrest and started disrupting the college's functioning. Senior police officials and local political leaders including the MLA held talks but was no use. Their repeated uproar and violence gave doubts to the common people that they came with some preplanned agenda.
And on 6th (today) a large number of young people with political flags forced into the college and caused great turmoil. They quarreled with the teachers and the police. They were not willing to listen to the words of anyone.
This strengthened the doubts of the public that it was some vested interests that plotted to destroy this college, taking advantage of this unfortunate mishap!
