Fathima Lateef had allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from a ceiling fan in her hostel room. She was found dead in her room on November 9. Fathima Lateef was a native of Kerala and was pursuing an integrated MA program at the institute.

Fathima Lateef was staying at the Sarayu hostel at the campus. Following the incident, the police, in its primary investigation, had revealed that Fathima Lateef was separated from her family for the first time and had scored poorly in her internal exam.

Meanwhile a former professor of IIT Madras who worked there for 28 years long has slammed the management called the death of Fathima as “Institutional Murder”. She alleges that it is a “killing” took place because of the caste and religion based educationalists who works for the management.

Professor Vasantha Kandasamy further stated that there won’t be more than 10 muslim students had passed out from IIT Madras in the 28 years of her career span. To our shock, Vasantha Kandasamy even revealed that IIT Madras didn’t accommodate room for a dalit student who registered for PHD for the first time in 1996. “They (IIT Madras) didn’t encourage me because I raised my voice for my students”. she said while interacting with the host of Nakkheeran TV. Professor even says that the IIT Madras management made her suffer throughout her career without recognising her achievement.

Vasantha Kandasamy's interview shows what fiery women were raised soon after independence.

And the current batch of 'my goal is to get married' non-Brahmin Tamil women. 😐
