During the investigation into Rohith Vemula's death at the University of Hyderabad, the police in Hyderabad submitted a detailed report to the court. This report shed light on crucial aspects surrounding Vemula's identity and the circumstances leading up to his tragic suicide in 2016.

Identity and SC Status

The report made a significant revelation, stating that Rohith Vemula was not officially recognised as Dalit and did not possess the necessary "authentic identity" to qualify for Scheduled Caste (SC) status. This revelation was based on evidence indicating that Vemula's mother had obtained an SC certificate on his behalf.

Authenticity Concerns and Suicide Triggers

The report further elaborated on Vemula's awareness of his lack of authentic identity, noting that his mother had procured the SC certificate for him. This lack of eligibility for SC status could have contributed to the immense pressure Vemula faced, especially regarding the reservation benefits he had availed of for years. The report suggested that these circumstances might have played a role in his decision to end his life.

Report Findings

The report, while acknowledging the complexity of the case, highlighted several factors that pointed towards the possibility of suicide as the cause of Vemula's death. However, it also underlined that the investigation did not uncover evidence indicating foul play or any intentional abetment to suicide by the accused parties.

Ongoing Legal Proceedings

The case involving Nakul Pappula, Appa Rao Podile, and Bandaru Dattatreya from Haryana continues to unfold within the legal realm. As the investigation progresses and legal proceedings unfold, authorities remain focused on uncovering the truth behind Rohith Vemula's untimely demise at the University of Hyderabad.
