Bhopal: A student
leader accused of severely beating a college professor, leading to
his death, in 2006 was found dead in Madhya Pradesh's Gwalior
city, police said Sunday.
Police said Akhil Bhartiya Vidyathi Parisad (ABVP) member Vimal
Tomar's death seemed to be suicide but they could only confirm it
after the post-mortem examination.
"He was found dead at his uncle's house. Prima facie, it seems a
suicide, however no suicide note has recovered and post-mortem is
yet to be done so nothing concrete could be said about the death
and about the reasons behind it," Gwalior Deputy Superintendent of
Police Niraj Pandey told IANS.
Tomar, who was state secretary of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak
Sangh's student wing, had along with a dozen others, brutally
beaten up Professor H.S. Sabharwal of Madhav College, Ujjain, Aug
26, 2006 after a spat over elections to the college's student
union. Sabharwal had later succumbed to his internal injuries.
Later after immense pressure from media, Tomar was made prime
accused for the professor's murder.
Along with Tomar, state ABVP chief Shashi Ranjan Akela was also
booked under section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code. Four
others were also booked under different sections of the IPC.
However all the six were acquitted by a court due to lack of
evidence.
After his acquittal, Tomar was living with his uncle in Gwalior's
Gola ka Mandir area.
