Hyd University bars media on Vemula's death anniversary
The Hyderabad University on Wednesday barred media from entering its premises to attend an event commemorating Dalit PhD scholar Rohith Vemula's second death anniversary. Drawing an arbitrary line around 20 metres away from the university's gate, the authorities barred reporters from crossing the line over security concerns. Vemula had committed suicide in 2016 alleging caste discrimination.
