The death of 21-year-old Sai Teja from Samatha College in Visakhapatnam’s MVP Colony has shocked students and parents alike. Educational spaces are meant to nurture trust and guidance, but this incident exposes a disturbing failure within that system.
Reports state that two women lecturers allegedly sexually harassed Sai Teja through explicit messages and videos. Unable to handle the trauma and humiliation, he reportedly ended his life. The news has triggered outrage among students and the wider community.
Sai Teja’s classmates have accused the lecturers of harassment and staged protests on campus. They demanded immediate action and accountability from the college administration. Police have registered a case and launched a full investigation to uncover the truth.
The incident highlights a harsh reality often ignored — when male victims face harassment, their pain is dismissed or doubted. Many such cases remain unreported because men fear stigma or disbelief. This silence only deepens the suffering.
Sai Teja’s death underlines the urgent need for gender-neutral laws and safer reporting systems in educational institutions. Every student deserves emotional support, equal protection, and fair justice. Safety shouldn’t depend on gender — it should be guaranteed to everyone.
