chennai sources stated that two students from the indian Institute of technology (IIT), madras, on monday sat on a hunger strike demanding a fair investigation in the case related to Fathima Latheef, who allegedly committed suicide on november 9. One of the students said while talking to the media "We are on a hunger strike. We have two demands first is that an internal investigation committee should be set up to look into allegations raised by Fathima and her family, and the second is to appoint an external committee of experts who deal with mental health. Perhaps these experts can help the students suffering from various kinds of mental pressures".

Apparently he further said that so far the administration has not taken any action in this regard which has forced the students to stage such protests in the campus. Meanwhile Fathima Latheef, a student of IIT madras had allegedly taken her own life by hanging herself from a ceiling fan in her hostel room. Fathima was a native of kerala and was pursuing an integrated MA program at the institute.

As per report Fathima was staying at the sarayu hostel in the campus. Further following the incident, the police, in its primary investigation, had revealed that Fathima was staying away from her family for the first time and had scored poorly in her internal exam.
