Why it matters
The tragedy highlights public distrust in local investigations and the extreme measures taken by families seeking justice in cases of student deaths.
A woman from Prakasam district, who had been protesting in front of a private coaching institute following her son’s suspicion death, reportedly died while receiving treatment at a private hospital in Hyderabad on Saturday.
According to the police, the deceased has been identified as Moulana Bi, the mother of Kowshik, who was studying in Class VI at Chaitanya School in Ongole. Kowshik reportedly ended his life on February 14, 2026, after scoring low marks in the Jawahar Navodya School entrance exam.
Blaming the school management for her son's death, Moulana Bi had been observing a relay hunger strike in front of the school for the past few days. She was demanding a thorough probe into the circumstances leading to her son’s death, and on Thursday, she reportedly consumed poison after taking a selfie video seeking justice for her son.
