The Telangana Director General of Police has announced that the state police will conduct a further investigation into the 2016 death of University of Hyderabad PhD scholar Rohith Vemula. This decision comes after the police filed a closure report in their initial investigation, claiming that Vemula was not a Dalit and died by suicide. Vemula’s family had raised doubts about the police’s findings, leading to the decision to reinvestigate the case.
