Richard Loitam: Another Death That Shook The Nation
YouthKiAwaaz | Anannya Roy Chowdhury | May 01, 2012:
Richard Loitam, a 19 year old who just started living the so called ‘those were the best days of my life’, suddenly lost it all!! No, I am not referring to a lost cricket match or a broken heart but to the string that keeps us going, our life!
The high profile, Acharya Institute of Technology like many others across the nation is at the receiving end today because of the sudden and totally unexplained (the politically correct term used by diplomats) death of a First Year Architecture student, Richard Loitam.
The first and most prominent of the chain of events that ink link to the fact that something is certainly fishy in all of this is a statement that came up recently in context to the two students who were the prime witnesses. Now when media pressure clouded in, the two witnesses were all of a sudden present in Bangkok for a mid-term fun trip! Although I make no personal remarks here but is it not strange in the basest of manners that Architecture students in the middle of their semesters plan to move out of the country when just 12 days ago they were apparently seeing a fellow mate being beaten to death? This is also precisely what people had to say as they demanded that it was high time that the CBI took steps in the case.
With online media shaping up the case in the direction required to speed things up, a little help from all of us is sure to go miles. Researching on the topic, I stumbled across an online petition request that is aimed to fetch timely justice for Richard. It is high time bullying and student suicides came to an end.
