Death Of A Teacher

The incident is threatening to snowball into a major embarrassment for the ruling BJP in MP—one, because its student wing was involved and two, the attack on the professor took place in the presence of a heavy police deployment—not to speak of the media. Initially, the police only registered a case against "anonymous persons". Finally, after five days, on August 30, state ABVP president Shashi Ranjan Akela and another activist Vimal Tomar surrendered. Still, investigations haven’t progressed much. According to the district SP, no one contacted by the police, shockingly even Sabharwal’s own colleagues, would admit to "seeing anything". This, despite the damning, clear TV footage. The Opposition Congress is now clamouring for a CBI probe into the incident.
