After the death by suicide of Sradha Satheesh at the Amal Jyoti college hostel in Kottayam, many students and alumni have spoken out about the sexist rules and practices in colleges.
As many as 197 persons, including local leaders cutting across all parties, staged a protest in front of Amal Jyothi College of Engineering demanding a transparent investigation.
The college is run by the Syro Malabar Catholic Diocese of Kanjirapally, and students who took part in protests are now being threatened with 'wanted' posters of their photos on social media by Christian-right wing groups.
