Death of BDS student in Kannur: accused teachers seek anticipatory bail

Two teachers of Kannur Dental College accused in the death of first-year BDS student R.L Nithin Raj moved the Thalassery Sessions Court on Friday seeking anticipatory bail, but were denied any interim protection.

The accused, M.K. Ram, Head of the Department of Dental Anatomy, and K.T. Sangeetha Nambiar, Associate Professor, are facing charges of abetment of suicide and caste-based harassment. The court posted their bail plea for hearing on April 22 and declined their request for interim relief from arrest.
