ABVP members protested outside Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College in Bidar on Monday, demanding a crackdown on what they called the “drug mafia” that is operating in the college that led to the suicide of Sachin Kumar, a young student on Sunday.

Protesters complained that the police and college management had remained negligent about the growth of undesirable elements in the college for years.

“Unchecked growth of the drug mafia has claimed the life of one innocent boy. But if it remains unchecked, it would prove to be a disaster,” they said. They submitted a memorandum to the government and college authorities and dispersed.

Meanwhile, SP Prakash Nikam said initial inquiries had revealed that the reason for Sachin Kumar’s suicide were personal. Investigations are on in earnest, he said.
