The Hyderabad Central
University (HCU) has been witnessing sporadic protests after Dalit research
scholar Rohith Vemula allegedly committed suicide on the campus on

In a bid to intensify their ongoing agitation demanding removal and arrest of
Vice Chancellor Appa Rao Podile, who resumed office on March 22, the varsity's
Joint Action Committee for Social Justice has given a call for a protest march
- 'Chalo HCU' - on April 6.
On March 22, the students, upon learning that VC Appa Rao was back from leave, marched to his residence and protested against his resumption of office, arguing that as VC he may tamper with evidence and influence witnesses. The varsity's students' union has already sought President Pranab Mukherjee's immediate intervention to resolve issues related to the varsity and ensure the sacking of the VC.
