DC CORRESPONDENT VIJAYAWADA, DEC. 9

Sri Krishnadevaraya University Vice-Chancellor Prof. M. Jayaraj died of a car- diac arrest in a private bus while travelling to Vijayawada late Sunday night. Prof. Jayaraj was Economics Professor and appointed full additional charge (FAC) Vice-Chancellor on October 26. He had participated various programmes in the university on Sunday and was proceeding to attend an official pro- gramme at Vijayawada on Monday. When the bus reached Dhone in Kurnool district, he com- plained of chest pain and col- lapsed in the bus. Co-passen- gers immediately shifted him to the Dhone Government Hospital, where the doctors declared him dead. His body was shifted to his residence in Anantapur. Collector Gandham Chandrudu, SKU officials and district officials, students and political leaders paid homage and consoled the family mem- bers. Prof Jayaraj had 31 years of experience in teaching, research and administration. He joined the university in 1987 as a faculty in the economics department. He held various positions. He was awarded the state's best professor award in 2012. DOCTOR WANTS TO BE THE HANGMAN OF NIRBHAYA RAPISTS

DC CORRESPONDENT VIJAYAWADA, DEC. 9

In keeping with the extreme reactions that are being touted as a solution to the rape and murder of the Hyderabad vet- erinarian last month, a doctor has offered to be the execution- er of the convicts in the Nirbhaya case. He has offered himself as a candidate to Union home min- ister Amit Shah on Twitter, when he came to know that there was no executioner at Tihar jail to hang the convicts in the rape case that had horri- fied the country in 2012. Vijayawada YSRC Doctors cell leader Dr Ambati Naga Radhakrishna tweeted that it was reported in the press that prison authorities were look- ing for executioners to execute the men convicted in the Nirbhaya case. He stated in his tweet that though he is a pro- fessional doctor, he is ready to become an executioner with the intention of bringing peace to Nirbhaya’s soul, and would do so at his own expense. Speaking to Deccan Chronicle, Dr Radhakrishna said that the execution must not be delayed because there was no executioner. To retain belief in the justice system, it is very important to implement the Supreme Court orders immediately as the President of India has rejected the clemency petition, the doctor said.
