Punjab: Lovely Professional University Student Blames Kerala Professor In Suicide Note

The 21 year-old male student — who hailed from Kerala — said that he took the extreme step owing to personal problems he faced in his previous institution, NIT Calicut where he studied for two years. 

New Delhi: After a huge protest by the students of privately-run Lovely Professional University in Punjab’s Jalandhar following death of a first-year student on campus, a suicide note has been found where the student has blamed a Kerala professor for his death. 

As per a report by news agency IANS, the 21 year-old male student — who hailed from Kerala — said that he took the extreme step owing to personal problems he faced in his previous institution, National Institute of Technology, Calicut where he studied for two years. 

Blaming a professor from NIT Calicut, the suicide note stated, “"I blame Prof Prasad Krishna for emotionally manipulating me into quitting NIT. I regret my decision so much. I am being a burden to everyone. I am sorry but this is it."

The deceased student was studying in NIT Calicut, but had apparently left the institution and joined Lovely Professional University.
