The suicide of 26 year old PhD scholar has caused a nationwide anger among students. Protesters are accusing Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya and HR Ministry of intenstionally kicking out Rohith Vemula form the university.

The HRD ministry had written as many as five letters to Hyderabad University on Labour Minister Bandaru Dattareya’s complaint regarding “anti national activities” on the campus and the “violent attack” on an ABVP leader but maintained it was standard procedure on such “VIP references”.
