(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Thiruvananthapuram: The opposition leader, VD Satheesan, said that Siddharth, a second-year BVMS student of Pookode Veterinary University, was brutally beaten to death by SFI workers. Satheesan said that he was stripped and beaten up by the SFIs for dancing in the college program in front of hundreds of students in the college. A second-year Bachelor of Veterinary Science student, Siddharth of Pookode Veterinary University, was found dead inside the college hostel on February 18. The post-mortem report indicated that Siddharth had endured severe physical assault, with evidence of three-day-old injuries on his body.
Satheesan stated, "The teachers, including the dean, concealed the assault in front of the public. The accused are being protected by the teachers. Siddharth was called from his home during his vacation and beaten up. CPM is raising the SFI as a criminal group that does not hesitate to do anything".
