Kerala High Court rejects anticipatory bail plea of professor in BDS student’s death case

The Kerala High Court on Friday dismissed the anticipatory bail plea of Dr. M.K. Ram in connection with the death of Nithin Raj, a first-year BDS student of Kannur Medical College, Anjarakandy.

Dr. Ram had challenged the order of the Special Judge under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, Thalassery, which had denied him anticipatory bail. He was accused of abetting the student’s suicide and charged under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the SC/ST Act.

In his plea for pre-arrest bail, he submitted that the student had borrowed ₹15,000 through a loan app and had failed to repay it, and that harassment by the operators led to his suicide. He also said he had been subjected to a media trial based on conjectures …
