Rohith Vemula's mother admitted in ICU due to 'chest pain'

Hyderabad: Mother of Rohith Vemula, a Dalit research scholar who committed suicide on the Hyderabad Central University (HCU) campus on January 17, was shifted to a hospital on Sunday in view of her health conditions.

"Radhika (Rohith's mother) was shifted from the protest camp on the campus tonight and taken to a private hospital after she complained of chest pain...heart pain and she is in ICU," Rohith's brother Raja said.

Rohith, one of the five research scholars was suspended last year in connection with an attack on a ABVP leader, had allegedly hanged himself in a hostel room on the varsity campus last Sunday.
