Hyderabad: The Banjara Hills police has issued a notice to the management of Keshav Memorial College to initiate disciplinary action against the five students who were in the car that killed Ramya and her uncle. Shravil, who was driving, and his five friends in the car, were all drunk at that time.

The five — Vishnu, Sai Ramesh, Surya, Alen Joseph and Ashwini Naidu – who are B.Tech III semester students of Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology (KMIT) were suspended on July 7.

Shravil, a student of Pujiya Madhavanji Institute of Technology, was arrested and sent to custody. “We have written to the college informing them about the incident and the need to take action against them for being drunk. It is up to them to take whatever action as per their code of conduct,” said Banjara Hills inspector K. Srinivas.

Ramya’s relatives had also approached KMIT seeking action against the five boys and had organised a vigil near the college at Narayanaguda. The college management had also participated in the vigil. The college said they cannot take action on the police notice but added that it had suspended the five students immediately after the incident.

“We will forward the police notice to JNTU for further direction. We have assigned a senior professor to meet the parents of the suspended students, as they did not respond to the suspension,” said KMIT principal Dr Maheswar Dutta.
