Mangaluru: MLC V S Ugrappa, chairperson of the Expert Committee for Preventing Sexual Harassment Against Women and Children, on Tuesday suggested the district administration to vet into the possibilities of initiating a stringent action against Alva’s Education Foundation.

The education institution is in news as Kavya alias Kavyashree, a Class X student in an Alva’s Education Foundation school allegedly committed suicide at the hostel attached to the school.

Chairing a meeting held at the deputy commissioner’s office, Ugrappa quoted from his report submitted to the government in the case of the death of a student who was shot dead at a hostel at the Pragati International Residential School in Bengaluru. Ugrappa said he had recommended for a relief of Rs 50 lakh from the school authorities to deceased girl’s parents.

Report soon

Ugrappa, who claimed he would be submitting a report on the Kavya issue to the government within one week, told the officials in particular, “You should think on such lines, although monetary relief will not bring back the dead alive.”

Earlier, Ugrappa inspected the hostel and then called on the parents of Kavya. He also listed the gross irregularities that came to his notice during his visit to hostel.
