Kerala Council of Churches Demands Justice for Student's Death

The Kerala Council of Churches (KCC) has publicly demanded strict legal action and immediate justice for the family of Nithin Raj, a student who allegedly died following mental torture at Anjarakkandy Dental College in Kannur. The religious body condemned the incident as an atrocity inconsistent with civilized society and urged authorities to intervene without delay to arrest those responsible. To demonstrate solidarity, a high-level delegation from the KCC, including President Alexios Mar Eusebius Metropolitan, General Secretary Prakash P. Thomas, Thiruvananthapuram district president A.R. Noble, and Nedumangad Assembly office-bearers Vijayaraj and Santosh, visited the bereaved family. The council emphasized that such increasing acts of violence require stringent measures to prevent future occurrences. This development highlights growing concerns regarding student safety and institutional accountability in educational facilities within the region. The KCC's involvement underscores the significant role religious organizations play in advocating for social justice and supporting victims' families in Kerala during times of crisis.
