    The report also says his brother is married to a Vaddera girl, when his wife is actually Muslim.

    Political involvement in University judgement
  • Five Dalit scholars from the University of Hyderabad were denied entry in the university premises and barred from participating in the students' election.

    This unjust administrative decision, taken by the University, was alleged to be politically influenced by BJP Union Minister for Labour Dattatreya and BJP MLC Ramachandra Rao.

    This was done due to a fallout between the Ambedkar Student Association (ASA) and ABVP.

    What led to the Dalit boycott?
  • The Dalit scholars were boycotted as an aftermath of a Facebook post made by Susheel Kumar, President of ABVP-HCU, where he called the ASA 'goons'.

    Susheel apologized calling it an emotional outburst for the recent DU incident and also, made allegations against five Dalit ASA supporters for assaulting him even after an official apology.

    An enquiry committee was set which suspended the five Dalits.
