Removed from job recently, Delhi University’s ad-hoc teacher found dead at home

A 33-year-old Delhi University ad-hoc teacher, who was recently removed from the job at the Hindu College, was found dead at his house in outer Delhi’s Rani Bagh, police said Thursday, triggering a protest by former colleagues and students.
Samarveer, originally from Molki village in Rajasthan’s Baran district, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in a room he shared with his cousin who had gone to duty at the time of incident, police said.
They said no suicide note was found, but according to the cousin he was under depression. The cousin told the police that Samarveer, who was unmarried, was working as an ad-hoc lecturer in the Hindu College but a different lecturer was appointed in his place recently.
Hindu College principal Anju Srivastava did not respond to calls and texts requesting her statement.
Delhi University teachers and students staged a protest outside the Hindu College and demanded justice for Samarveer. They raised slogans and carried placards.
