Andhra govt decides to cancel Rohith Vemula's SC certificate
The Andhra Pradesh government has decided to cancel the Scheduled Caste certificate of Rohith Vemula, the Hyderabad University scholar who committed suicide last year. This follows a district-level enquiry declaring that neither Rohith, nor his mother were Dalit and that they had acquired the certificate by fraudulent means. His mother, Radhika Vemula, has also been issued a show-cause notice.
