Governor to visit Pookode Veterinary University

Thiruvananthapuram: Governor Arif Mohammed Khan is likely to visit  Pookode Veterinary University, Wayanad,  where a student, Sidharthan, died by suicide after undergoing a public ‘trial’ and brutal beating. The governor, who is currently out of station, will return on Monday evening. Official programmes are scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. He is likely to visit the university after this.

When Chief Justice of the Kerala High Court Ashish Jithendra Desai  responds to the letter sent the other day, it is indicated that the governor will take action for a judicial inquiry or a central inquiry into the incident. The vice chancellor of the university, Dr MR Shashindranath was suspended by the governor on Saturday. The university Dean may also be suspended, reports say, for failing to intervene and taking the incident seriously. Animal Husbandry  Minister JS  Chinchurani had said that ,  the dean’s actions were wrong.

Dr PC Saseendran, the newly appointed VC of the university, visited Sidharthan’s parents on Sunday.
