ALSO REPORT: Telangana Police To Reopen Rohith Vemula Case After Family Casts Doubts On Closure Report

The Rohith Vemula case resurfaced in the news when the Telangana police submitted a closure report, disputing Vemula's Dalit identity and suggesting that his apprehension about his "true caste" led to his suicide. Over a month later, the police announced the reopening of the case on Friday following concerns raised by Vemula's family and others. Notably the report cleared all accused individuals of wrongdoing.

Radhika Vemula, the mother of Rohith Vemula, reaffirmed their Scheduled Caste identity, rejecting the assertions made in the closure report.
