Police Foil YSRC Calls For Shutdown Over Medical Student's Death

Police Foil YSRC Calls For Shutdown Over Medical Student's Death

A young medical student named Dr. Priyanka was hurt when a car crashed into her bike, and sadly, she died.

Some people think the people in the car had been drinking.

A political group called YSRC wanted schools and colleges to close for a day to remember her.

But the police stopped that plan.

They also told a YSRC leader named Margani Bharat that he had to stay home.

He had wanted to lead a bike ride to protest problems with a teacher hiring process and to ask for the education minister to step down.

Mr. Bharat said the people who did this should be found and punished.

He also said the police only started trying hard after people talked about it on social media, and that the government was too slow to help Priyanka's family.

His supporters came to his house and argued with the police.
