    All the three criminals are fit to be in the zoo rather than an engineering college. Criminals whether they are under 18 years or above 18 must be dealt with severe punishment.

    This dastardly act of the three students needs condemnation from every sane person in the country. The courts should come down heavily on these students and set an example that these acts of violence will never be tolerated in society.
    My sympathies go out to the family of Principal Suresh.

    Shocking is not the word. Poor parents. They cannot control their very own. It is the media that controls the acts of the youth these days. They see. They act. In days to come it will be difficult to find teachers leave alone Principal. Wish that media takes a more responsible attitude.

    For having disciplined the students the principal is killed, horrible, what kind of students they are, they are coming to rag or to study. They should be hanged as there is a clear evidence that they killed the principal.

    last yr. in maharastra alone more than 50000 seats for eng. vacant.

    Shocking incident.These students shall be given death penalty.This is high time government has to ammend strict law against ragging.Having seen ragging during my college days also being a victim,I feel it is notorious crime against humanity and have very bad impact on young minds.Modus operandi is like this.Senior students target new comers in the hostel during late night.These beasts already intoxicated with achohol or drug also sons of influential fathers.Invading new students room in group then they will make lewd comments on appearence and dresses.Forced to salute or bow to them by standing on the chair.Then the torture starts.It differs to every individual.They may strip you,force to eat tooth paste or to smoke,drink even if you are not used to it.If they know the victim is a vegetarian forcing him to eat non veg so that he will omit everything instantly.

    My roommate was asked to bring cigerate from the shop nearer to hostel only in underwear.How humiliating to go in public without clothes.The list is endless there will be lot of mental and physical agony.In between beatings are as usual.There are serious cases in few colleges where victims commited suicide due to humiliation and helplessness.Fact to note that lot of abuse still going on in engineering colleges.

    It is really sad that a precious life is snipped only because the principal was trying to bring some discipline in the college.
    It is therefor very important that at the young age they are moulded and shown right path. The character of a person depends on their upbringing. Parents don't bother to correct them when they do something wrong. On the contrary they just laugh when a child makes mistakes. This kind of indiscipline at the younger stage lead to more serious crimes at later stage. Secondly the youngsters are influenced by the movies and the friends they move with. There is no fear of God and law.

    Gone are the days where uneducated people used to become criminals.
    Now most of the criminals we see in our society are educated. This is a real cause of concern.
    I think our society is moving in wrong direction.

    Students dare to hack the principal to death.... Something beyond the immagination... If they dared to do so then what was the condition of the other students in the hostel while they used to live there. How much atrocities they might have committed in the hostel? ....
    If they have dared to tough the principal that shows the amount of Political power they have...
    Best solution is to give them into the hands of the other inmates of the hostel. definetly not a single bone of the these 3 students be found...

    Lydia, disciplining is possible when the Children are young.
    That time parents/guardians must have been pampered them!
    Now if parents try to discipline them, sure they will meet same fate of that Lecturer!
    Evil to the society! what they will learn from college? Instead they must be sent Military School!

    Here we can recollect the similar incident happened in Kolkata recently. Where as one of the Girl Student died due to suffocation since she was forced to sit in School Toilet for few hours. But in this case Students took the extreme step against Principal. No doubt we have to condemn all sorts of cruelty against humans but people can’t be biased when it comes to Principal vs. Students

    Oh God !

    Unbelievable incident.

    Where our student’s morals have gone? What is the value of their education? Sometimes we blame other organizations for crimes committed on fellow human beings. (using the terms uneducated/uncivilized people)

    These students should be given death sentence for the cold blooded murder of their own Guru.
    No mercy , no leniency at all.
