However, Sahithi’s father Polugula Prabhakar claimed that his daughter never spoke to him about poor performance in the intermediate examination or that she was depressed. He accused the college management of hiding the facts and misleading the investigation. “My daughter died on Thursday night and I was informed by the college management only on Friday morning that too after shifting her body to MGM hospital for postmortem,” he alleged.

Students union members staged a protest in front of the college demanding justice for Sahithi. The police have registered a case of suspicious death and investigation is underway.
