The mother of Rohith Vemula, a dalit research scholar who allegedly committed suicide on the Hyderabad Central University (HCU) campus, was admitted to hospital Sunday night, a week after his death.

Radhika was shifted from the protest camp on the university campus and taken to a private hospital after she complained of “chest pain...heart pain”; she is now in ICU, Rohith’s brother Raja told PTI.

Rohith, one of the five research scholars suspended last year in connection with an attack on a ABVP leader, had allegedly hanged himself in a hostel room on the varsity campus last Sunday.
