"Most of the private educational institutions in the two states belong to AP Cabinet Minister. When I raised the issue, the AP government had promised me that it will look into the issue by setting up a committee, but nothing has been done till date," he quoted in the letter.

Dasari requested the high court to register cases against the college management where the students had committed suicide.
