Jishnu Pranoy

The family of engineering student Jishnu Pranoy, who was found hanging in his college hostel in January, has ended a hunger strike it began five days ago after the government pledged that anyone responsible for driving the 18-year-old student to suicide will be punished.

The protesting parents of Jishnu Pronoy - a student who allegedly committed suicide -- have started a hungerstrike at the hospital where they have been admitted. The couple had been brutally manhandled by the Kerala police yesterday after they tried to hold an indefinite hunger-strike outside the police headquarters in Thiruvananthapuram.

The parents of Jishnu Pronoy, who committed suicide on his college campus in January, were dragged along the ground by cops in Thiruvananthapuram for attempting a protest and indefinite fast.

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan today criticised self-financing educational institutions saying many of them have become commercial establishments.
