The University has announced 8 lakh rupees compensation for Rohith's family.
Hyderabad:
Rohith Vemula's mother today refused to meet the Hyderabad Central University Vice-Chancellor, named in the police complaint into her son's suicide, at her home on a day
Prime Minister Modi Narendra Modi said he "felt his family's pain".
The Dalit scholar's mother, Radhika, told Vice Chancellor Appa Rao Podile that she would meet him along with four other students who were suspended on the campus, where Rohith hung himself on Sunday.
"I went to meet Rohith's mother along with two professors who informed her that I had come and wanted to meet her. But she conveyed to them that she will meet me only on the campus along with four other students," Mr Podile told the Press Trust of India.
Mr Podile claimed that Radhika, during her meeting with professors Geeta and Prakash Babu, expressed regret for demanding his resignation.
The University has announced 8 lakh rupees compensation for Rohith's family while the Union Education Ministry said a judicial commission would look into the events leading to Rohith's death and submit its report in three months.
Breaking his silence over the incident, PM Modi said in Lucknow today, "I can't imagine what his family members is going through. A mother has lost her 'laal' (son). Politics aside, the fact is that we lost a son. I can understand the pain."
Rohith Vemula hung himself on Sunday, two weeks after he and four other students were suspended and banned from the hostel, the cafeteria and other common areas for allegedly beating an activist of a rival student union in August.
On Thursday, the university revoked the suspension of Rohith's comrades, hours after 15 Dalit teachers resigned accusing Union Education Minister Smriti Irani of distorting the facts related to the suicide. Ms Irani had alleged a misrepresentation of facts and proclaimed that the tragedy had nothing to do with a caste battle.
