Media Release

Udupi, 03 Aug 2017: The National Students Union of India (NSUI) Udupi district demanding a perfect probe by the police into the ’suspicious’ death of Kavya, a Class 10 student of Alva’s high school Moodbidri.

 

Students protest in Shirva demanding impartial probe into the death of Kavya Poojary. NSUI Udupi district president Christan Almeida Addressed the students.

 

The police statement that Kavya would have ended her life for scoring less marks in Hindi examination, however, Kavya’s parents and few social activists expressed suspicions of foul play. It has been said that Kavya committed suicide in her hostel room, her roommates along with the help of other girl put down the body and took her to hospital,  normally high-school students are quite scared of dead bodies, in this case how come the students put down the body without informing the hostel staff.

 

 

Few media have said that she committed suicide for scoring less marks in Hindi,  Kavya was a bold sportsmen it is tough to believe that she committed suicide for scoring less that too in class test. Kavya in her call to her parents has clearly told that the physical training director had called her at 4:30 am the next day for practice. But the institution has dismissed it saying that there is no training at 4:30 am. Kavya was wearing track suit when she was discovered dead in the room. The police had shifted the body to mortuary without even her parents having a look.

 

Alva’s is known for its education, cultural and sports achievements, lot of outrage is on social media,  let the police have a detailed investigation and come out with a truth, whether it’s suicide or murder.

 

We demand a thorough investigation into her death and if it was a murder, then the culprit should be punished. All educational institutions should take measures to ensure that such incidents of suicide do not recur in the district.

 

An impartial probe should be conducted to give justice to the family of Kavya. All the unanswered questions needs be looked into by the investigation authorities.’

 

Shivu welcomed the media, police and students. St. Mary’s college president Ranjith Shenoy, Hanumanth, Josnil, Anush, St. Mary’s student Council members,  various other students were present.
