Congress-led United Democratic Front (UDF) has condemned the alleged move by the Veterinary and Animal Sciences College at Pookode in Wayanad to reinstate 35 students the authorities had suspended following the suspected death by suicide of a second-year hosteller, J Siddharth, last month.
The opposition leader, V.D. Satheesan, accused the vice chancellor of readmitting the students without seeking legal advice.
Speaking to reporters in Thiruvananthapuram, Mr Satheesan termed the decision suspicious and said it would open the door to undermine the case against the Students Federation of India (SFI) accused of “killing” Siddarth.
