ABVP protests in Rewa, Harda over Odisha student's suicide

Bhopal: Members of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) held protests in various districts of Madhya Pradesh, including Rewa and Harda, over the suicide of Soumyashree Bishi, a student of Fakir Mohan Mahavidyalaya in Balasore, Odisha. In Rewa, ABVP members gathered at College Square on Tuesday, organised a tribute meeting, and raised slogans demanding justice. In Harda, the protest intensified as ABVP workers burnt an effigy of Sameer Sahu, the head of the department accused of sexually harassing the student, in front of Government Swami Vivekananda Mahavidyalaya. ABVP's district coordinator in Harda, Sudhan Mankar, told the media that the incident was the result of administrative insensitivity and inaction. He added that Soumyashree's life could have been saved if timely action had been taken. Narmadapuram division student leader Lishika was quoted by a section of media saying said Soumyashree had previously lodged a complaint against the HOD for sexual harassment, but the college administration failed to act. Under mental distress, the student ultimately died by suicide on July 13 after being admitted to AIIMS Bhubaneswar. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [속보]'한 달만에 5cm 성장!?' 2개월치 무료증정 압도적 키성장 1위! 아이클타임 더 알아보기 Undo The ABVP has demanded strict action against the accused and called on the central government to make the formation of Internal Complaints Committees (ICC) mandatory in all colleges across the country.
