Shraddha Satheesh, a student of Amal Jyothi College in Kanjirappally, Kottayam committed suicide in the college hostel room after her phone was seized by authorities.

Why is Amal Jyothi shut down?

Following escalating protests over a student’s suicide in a dorm room at the college, the Amal Jyothi Engineering College in Kanjirappally has been shut down permanently. Although they were told to leave the hostel, the students resisted.

In the presence of the neighbourhood MLA and government chief whip N Jayaraj, a conversation would take place between the management and student leaders.

The accused educators will take part in the conversation as well. Shraddha, an Ernakulam native from the Tripunithura district of Thiruvankulam, was discovered hanged in her dormitory room on Friday, June 2, after college officials allegedly seized her phone.

The girl’s relatives claimed that the teacher’s psychological abuse caused the girl to kill herself. The girl’s relatives also charged the college administration with purposefully not taking her to the hospital.

Her father informed Asianet News, citing her college friends, that the department head at Amal Jyothi Engineering College spoke to his daughter after taking her phone and harassing her.

She didn’t lose her composure till she left the HOD’s cabin. Additionally, Shraddha’s aunt asserted that the child would have received the right treatment if the college administration had told the doctor that she had attempted suicide. They stated she felt lightheaded instead.

She received a reprimand from the college administration for using her phone in the lab. In order to retrieve the phone, they called Shraddha’s parents in Ernakulam after taking it away for two days.

The student had allegedly received lesser grades on the semester exam, according to the girl’s family, who were informed of the occurrence by the college administration. This most likely disturbed Shraddha.

As stated above, the young lady thought she had had enough of the school’s constant form of harassment which includes confiscating her phone.

Shraddha allegedly committed herself after college administrators removed her cell phone and chastised her for using it on campus.

The head of the food technology department and the dormitory warden have been specifically called out by protesting students who consider them accountable for Shraddha’s passing.
