with the suspicious death of a student, Y.V. Harshavardhan Reddy (20).
He reportedly died by
jumping from the college building on Friday.
The police registered
case against Superwhizz (Kanuru branch) supervisor Murali, coordinators Vijay,
Pramod and Karthik, under Section. 306 of IPC (abetment to suicide) on
Saturday.
Harshavardhan Reddy, a
native of Ongole town, was taking coaching in the institute at Kanuru.

and pushed him from the parapet wall of the building, causing his death.

Inspector K. Dharmendra said the police recorded the statements of the
eyewitnesses (other students), who said that the staff chided the victim for
skipping classes.
Harshanvardhan, who
took it as an insult, resorted to the extreme step. But, no arrests have been
made in the case so far, the CI said.
Meanwhile, members of
Students Federation of India (SFI), CPI (M) and Congress activists staged a
dharna in front of the Government General Hospital (GGH) demanding action
against Superwhizz management.
They insisted the
police book the culprits immediately. The traffic was stalled for some time
when the protestors staged a sit-in on the National Highway No.5.
Police dispersed the
people and took a few protestors into custody.
Later, the body was
handed over to family members after post-mortem.
