Ananya, the sister of Poluri Sai, blamed his college for her brother's death. She said, “College is responsible for my brother's death. We are paying lot fees to the college. Before joining the college they assured us that students would be secured and monitored, but, the college is not protecting and monitoring the students in the hostel. We are daily labours. We struggle a lot to pay college fees, striving for a good life for my brother. It's an awful incident that happened.”
