IISER supervisor faces ‘vicious trolling' after PhD scholar's death
1 2 Kolkata: PhD supervisor of the IISER-Kolkata scholar who recently died by suicide has alleged of being viciously trolled on social media. The professor at the institute's Biological Sciences department also said that the trolling has not only taken a toll on her mental and physical health but also affected her children and students. Before killing himself, Anamitra Roy had left behind a detailed Facebook post in which he mentioned recurrent physical and mental abuse since childhood, both at home and outside. He had also said that he was abused at the institute by a fellow scholar. The supervisor said on Wednesday, "The way I am being trolled... has affected everyone around me, including my children and elderly parents. The abuses that are being hurled at me have affected my career, image and the reputation of the dog lab. I am being tagged as a 'murderer' and a 'witch' and it seems that people have already convicted me without a trial. I am afraid to leave my home. So is my daughter. Several of my PhD students are seeking mental health support because of the treatment that is being meted out to them by some members of the IISER-Kolkata community, both on social media and outside the campus.

"I worked tirelessly for two years for an international conference scheduled for later this month. But I had to back out because of the trolling," she shared. The professor added that she hoped investigators would record her statement soon. "I want the truth to come out and am cooperating with the investigation. I interacted with Anamitra since his second year of BS, listened to his troubles, gave advice, and supported him. In fact, he did an internship with the lab and was associated with it ever since. He did his Masters thesis in my lab and decided to continue as a PhD student in the lab because he found the environment supportive and amicable. It was a huge personal loss to me." The supervisor's husband quit as the dean of student affairs following the incident after students protested against the negligence of the anti-ragging committee headed by him.

RTI reply exposes irregularities in Panayarakunnu farmers society
Thiruvananthapuram: An RTI reply by cooperative department has exposed grave financial irregularities surrounding Panayarakunnu Farmers Social Welfare Cooperative Society. The RTI query was filed by one of the depositors who was allegedly cheated by the administrative panel members. The society was reportedly functioning without following most of the provisions of the state cooperative rules. The monthly deposit scheme (MDS) was supposed to be passed by general body of the society and approved by the department for running chit funds and other schemes, but this was not done, the report stated. A sum of Rs 61.40 lakh was supposed to be collected from customers through MDS. However, the society did nothing to collect the money despite being directed to do so. In the monthly expense register, a huge sum was found given as 'secretary advance' and 'president advance'. A society is not supposed to grant loans and run MDS on the guarantee of cheques, but the Panayarakunnu society granted loans to several people on such a guarantee. A total of Rs 5.65 crore was collected by the society as deposits, but it was supposed to collect only Rs 25 lakh from loan arrears. The society did not keep enough funds in line with the deposits collected and was not in a position to clear the deposits of customers, the report said. The society diverted the deposit amounts for MDS and other investments. Loans were granted without proper guarantees. By appointing more staff and collection agents than the permitted limits, the society spent over Rs 10 lakh on paying them commission and wages. Issues spotted in the audits were not rectified properly and the stock register was not maintained. Even in benami names, the accused took loans for their personal needs, but not even a single penny was paid back, the report added. Meanwhile, depositors alleged that neither police nor the department took any action against the accused on their complaints.
