Kannur Dental College has denied caste discrimination allegations in the death of BDS student Nithin Raj, claiming it was linked to harassment from a loan app. The college said he had taken an app-based loan that led to threats and calls to a teacher. Police have booked two faculty members, while the family disputes the college’s version and alleges foul play.
Kannur (Kerala): The management of Kannur Dental College, where a BDS student died after allegedly jumping from a building, on Sunday said his death was not due to caste discrimination but linked to a loan taken through a mobile app.

Nithin Raj, a first-year BDS student at a private dental college in Anjarakandy, was found critically injured after falling from a building on April 10 and later succumbed to his injuries.
