New Delhi:
More than 10 days after Dana Sangma, a student from Meghalaya committed suicide due to alleged "discrimination" by the Amity university authorities in Gurgaon; the college today addressed the media giving their side of the story.
Dana body was found in her hostel room on April 24 after being allegedly humiliated by an invigilator who claimed to have caught her cheating in the exams.
Students and friends alleged that she was racially targeted and couldn't handle the humiliation.
However today, the vice chancellor and co-vice chancellor addressed the media giving thir side of the story. They say the rules of the college were applicable to all students and there was no discrimination towards her. "When caught with a mobile phone in the exam hall, exact same process was applied which is applied to other students in case of mobile phones being caught with students," added the Co Vice Chancellor of Amity University, Padmakali Banerjee.
The two members of the college also said that her answer sheet wasn't torn and no abusive language was used as was alleged by some students to the media.
The college authorities maintain that they are cooperating with investigators but the issue had turned into a needless political controversy.
