Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya and the Hyderabad University Vice Chancellor were on Monday named in an FIR over the alleged suicide of the student.
Vemula Rohit, the dead student, was among five research scholars who were suspended by the varsity in August 2015 and also one of the accused in the case of assault on a ABVP leader. They were also kept out of the hostel.
Rohit was found hanging in the hostel room located on the varsity campus on January 17.
