Hyderabad: Prof Appa Rao Podile, Vice-Chancellor of University of Hyderabad (UoH) on Thursday expressed happiness over Justice Roopanwal Commission's report that has absolved the varsity of any blame.
According to sources, the panel, which was constituted by HRD Ministry to probe research scholar Rohith Vemula's suicide case, in its report to the HRD Ministry, has said the material on record did not establish it and attributed his suicide to personal reasons.
The Commission has given a clean chit to Union Ministers Smriti Irani and Bandaru Dattatreya, sources said. The University authorities too have been absolved of any blame for Vemula's death as the Commission has held that they were not working under political pressure.
"If that kind of report has come, I am happy about it. We have no access to that. We have not yet seen. We are happy. As a university, we are happy," said Podile.
The Vice-Chancellor was in the eye of a storm over Vemula's suicide on January 17, with a section of students demanding his resignation and held vigorous protests seeking "justice" for the research scholar.
A battery of high-profile leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Arvind Kejriwal, had visited the varsity at the height of protests.
Based on a complaint by a section of students, Cyberabad police had registered a case against Dattatreya, Podile and three others in connection with the suicide.
