The student, Lakshmi Bhavani Keerthy, was said to have been bitten 1q5 times by rats and she was administered anti-rabies vaccine each time she was bitten from March to November.  This resulted in paralysis, family members alleged.

She was shifted to the Mamata General Hospital in Khammam as the hospital came forward to provide free treatment to the student at the directions of former minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar. The doctors said the student was currently recovering but suffering from neurological problems.

Responding to the incident, former minister and senior BRS MLA T. Harish Rao expressed serious concern over the condition of the student and accused the Congress government of acting negligently towards students studying in government residential schools.  

It was worrisome that the students, who were supposed to be studying in schools, were falling sick and ending up in hospital beds under the Congress rule.  What did the authorities do when a student was bitten by rats 15 times and why was she not given proper treatment even after visiting the hospital many times, he asked. 

This was the most inhuman incident.  If the conditions were so bad in the Gurukuls, the Congress leaders took up Gurukul Bata for one day but failed to address the situation, he stated.  (Maxim News)
