Telangana: Degree student killed by juniors after an argument over studies in Nizamabad; 6 detained

Hyderabad: In a shocking incident, a degree first-year student was allegedly murdered by his junior students following an altercation over studies in Telangana’s Nizamabad district. Venkat (19) was assaulted by some intermediate (class 11 and 12) students at a government-run hostel in Bodhan town on Sunday night.

A native of Tippari Thanda in Gandhari mandal from the same district, Venkat was staying in a BC hostel in Bodhan and was pursuing an undergraduate course.

Student thrashed To Death

The victim’s family members alleged that the accused confined Venkat to a room and physically thrashed him resulting in his death. This followed an altercation after Venkat advised junior students to focus on their studies.

As Venkat was ‘study hour in-charge’, he had asked the students to stop chatting and focus on their studies. Infuriate over the advice, they picked up an argument and thrashed him. They strangled him to death.

Some inmates of the hostel caught the accused and handed him over to the police. At least six students involved in the attack are in police custody. The family members of the deceased protested demanding justice. Police have registered the case and investigation is ongoing.
