The agency has re-registered the FIR filed at the Vythiri police station in Wayanad against 20 people late Friday night
The 20-year-old veterinary student Sidharthan JS, whose body was found hanging inside the bathroom of the college hostel in Kerala’s Wayanad district on February 18, was reportedly assaulted for around 29 hours “continuously” by seniors and classmates before he died by suicide.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the probe into the death of the second-year student of the College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences in Kerala’s Wayanad district on his family’s demand, who alleged Sidharthan was subjected to ragging by fellow students, including activists of CPI-M’s students’ outfit SFI.
The agency has re-registered the FIR filed at the Vythiri police station in Wayanad against 20 people late Friday night, within hours of receiving a notification from the central government in this connection.
The accused have been booked under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy, abetment to suicide, wrongful restraint, voluntarily causing hurt and Kerala’s anti-ragging law.
