Rohit Vemula's suicide in University of Hyderabad's campus last year created huge controversy. His suicide attracted national attention with all political parties and leaders like Rahul Gandhi,Aravind Kejriwal, Kanhiah Kumar,Mamata Bannerjee landed in Hyderabad to draw political mileage.
After gunning for PM Modi and Union Ministers Smriti Irani and Bandaru Dattatreya and using Rohit Vemula's family for their mileage, they turned silent and moved on to another issue.
Rohit Vemula's caste is becoming bone of contention. While his mother Radhika claimed that he belonged to SC community. his father claimed that he belonged to BC.
Now in a shocking twist the Guntur district administration is likely to declare University of Hyderabad Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula, who committed suicide on January 17 last year, as belonging to the BC Vaddera community reversing its own order given earlier.
All police complaints had been filed under the SC/ST Act against several persons. The Guntur district administration had earlier declared Rohith as belonging to the SC community, but the Justice (retd) Ash-ok Kumar Roopanwal, which was set up to probe the circumstances of the suicide, ruled that he was not a Dalit.
Fresh screening committee which was appointed to look into the issue after its investigation and inquirty is all set to declare Rohith as a BC in a day or two.Commitee already questioned all Rohit Vemula's family members.
