The students have been reportedly asked to avoid discussing the incident to stop unwanted publicity. In a bid to prevent any such incidents in the future, authorities have reportedly advised students not to take such extreme steps and approach a professor or the institute director with any academic or personal issues. Students said Anirudhya was friendly in his demeanour to his fellow students. They also confirmed absence of any financial troubles in his family or any back logs in his three years of B Tech at the institute.

Sources have also said that Anirudhya’s parents have not filed any complaints with the Sangareddy Rural police station.
