Was it suicide or murder? Several doubts are being expressed over the tragic death of K Venugopal Reddy..!!

Several doubts are being expressed over the tragic death of K Venugopal Reddy, an MCA student, in the Osmania University campus, demanding that the Centre expedite the process for Telangana state formation. Though nobody had any doubt over the commitment of Venugopal for Telangana, his sudden death has raised many an eyebrow. However, nobody, including the police, dared to raise the issue fearing strong reaction from students. First of all, Venugopal did not give any prior indication to any of his friends or brothers about his intention to commit suicide. Secondly, nobody knew from where he procured kerosene. It is also a mystery as to why he had gone to the Tagore Auditorium area where not a soul moves in that dreary night. Moreover, the body was found in bushes, rather than on the road. There was a talk in hush tone as to why he had chosen the place, rather than the Arts College building where he would have highlighted the Telangana issue more. In fact, one is comparing Venugopal’s death with that of Srikantha Chary who immolated himself in front of everyone at LB Nagar a few weeks ago. The police did not utter a word, but booked the case as a suspicious death.
