Congress MP Shashi Tharoor demanded a thorough criminal investigation into the death of Nithin Raj, a 22-year-old BDS student at Kannur Dental College who died after falling from a building on April 10. Tharoor cited audio recordings allegedly revealing relentless verbal abuse, casteist slurs, and academic sabotage by faculty members. The college suspended two faculty members. Tharoor called for full accountability across administration.
