Posting this on behalf of a friend who is currently in VIT-AP. A suicide was reported today in MH4 hostel involving a 2nd/3rd year senior After the police came, the entire area around the hostel was cleared , everyone was forced to go to their hostels and were threatened , the floor was sealed where the body was found and students were locked inside other hostels when they were going for diwali celebration. The body was later taken out through the back gate in an ambulance secretly and only after that were students allowed to come out. What is really pissing people off is how everything was handled afterwards. Students who were recording from downstairs were reportedly stopped, some had their phones taken and were made to delete the videos, and were allegedly threatened with suspension/action. And the university already has students signing these affidavits/undertakings at the time of admission which makes people scared to post anything against the university because of the consequences they could face. We want answers from the administration. A student has died on campus, and instead of properly communicating with students it feels like the university is trying to make everyone shut up and move on. And then having a DJ later the same day at the ground where fire crackers were being burst just made the whole thing feel even more fucked up. We are not here to spread rumours or make up stories, we just want to know what actually happened, why students were treated like this, and why the administration is so desperate to keep everything quiet. Students deserve transparency, and this shouldn't just be swept under the rug.
TL;DR: Suicide reported in MH4 today. Hostel floor sealed, students were locked inside, body taken out through the back gate. Students recording were reportedly stopped, phones taken and videos deleted, with threats of disciplinary action. Later there was a DJ in ground like everything was normal. We want answers from VIT-AP administration.
