Ragging claims another life in Guntur district

Guntur: Even before the dust in Rishiteshwari case settled, another ragging-related death shocked Guntur.While Rishiteshwari was a victim of ragging, the latest incident involves a girl ended her life after she tried to expose ragging in her college.

Sunitha (22), final year student of engineering in Malineni College of Engineering in Guntur district’s Vatti Cherukuru, filmed the ragging of first year students by second year students.

She took the footage to the principal and complained. Instead of taking action, the principal reportedly reprimanded her. Upset by the criticism, she ran from the principal’s chamber and jumped off from the first floor. She was rushed to a hospital, but died while under treatment.

The police reached the college and began investigating.
