KSHRC orders inquiry into IISc. student’s suicide
Staff Reporter
Bangalore: The Karnataka State Human Rights Commission (KSHRC) has suo moto registered a case over the suicide of R. Chitra, a Ph.D. student at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc.) on November 19, even as it awaits a police report on the suicide of Ajay Sree Chandra three months earlier.
In an order, S.R. Nayak, chairperson of KSHRC, has stated that Ms. Chitra’s suicide “is the second suicide within a few months,” after Mr. Chandra had ended his life allegedly “due to harassment by his guides.”
The commission has directed the Additional Chief Secretary and Principal Secretary, Home Department, to have Ms. Chitra’s suicide inquired into by a police officer not below the rank of a Deputy Commissioner of Police within a period of a month.
The order adds: “It is quite disturbing as well as painful that students pursuing doctoral degrees in a premiere institute such as the IISc. should commit suicide. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to find out the causes for such instances.”
