After reviewing the post-mortem report, which revealed that the student’s stomach was empty, Governor Khan made the decision to request a judicial investigation. He said that something was “fishy” because the warden and dean were unaware of the student’s situation for days.

Before obtaining bail, eighteen students—the majority of them were members of the SFI (CPI(M) student wing—were arraigned as accused. Investigative unit held them in custody for more than two months.

Siddarth’s father, Jayaprakash, responded to the court report’s conclusions by saying that anybody found guilty of doing nothing should face harsh punishment; a simple suspension will not enough.

Incidentally, this report comes out at a time when the CBI probe is also underway.
