There is a whole lot of info in the media that do not fit together well about Fathimas Death.

Fathimas Suicide at IIT Madras:
Statement of Facts and possible holes in the info:
Fathima Latheef, a native of Kollam district in Kerala, was a first-year MA Humanities student at IIT Madras. The 19-year-old was found dead in her hostel room on November 9. Her family said she had to face harassment at the institution, and named three teachers who Fathima had mentioned on her mobile phone responsible for her death.
In another development, Fathima’s father Abdul Latheef raised doubts about terming the death of his daughter as suicide. He told media in Delhi that
1- The body of Fathima, a first-year Master’s student at IIT-Madras, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in her hostel room on 9 November. Mr Lateef Says her body was found in the room with her knees on the floor. ??
2-The room was in total disarray with books and papers scattered all around, which was confusing as Fathima was a very organised person. Was the killer looking for something in particular?
3- Her roommate’s belongings were not seen in the room after the death of Fathima. Who was her room mate ? Why has this room mate not been questioned ? Is it possible to climb up and hang from a ceiling fan with Room Mate sleeping there ?
4- A student had said earlier that she had seen Fathima crying in the mess hall at night on November 8, but later she changed the statement.????. Woh Kaun Thi ?
5 - There was a birthday celebration in the hostel that night which extended till dawn.
5-Doctors said that death took place between 4 and 5 am.
6-The CCTV visuals of all these have been tampered with, Latheef said in a press conference held in Delhi on Thursday.
7- He added that his daughter had written the names of three teachers and seven students who harassed her mentally.
8- The family also hinted at religious discrimination she had to face there.
9 - The police had reportedly questioned the accused professors (Sudarshan Padmanabhan, Milind Brahme and Hemachandran Kare) three times already and they have been instructed not to leave the campus.
10- “My name itself is the problem, vappichi”—Fathima Latheef.
11- “Sudarshan Padmanabhan [an associate professor] is the cause of my death. P.S. Check Samsung notes.”
12- “I love you, umma and chakku. I love you, vappichi and thumbu. You are the only people in this entire world who have made me happy. I will always be with you. I have always loved you….”
13- Aysha said that Fathima was in constant touch with her, updating her with her academic travails. Although she was a class topper, she was given only 13 marks out of total 20 in the internal paper in Logic, which she strongly contested. On Fathima’s plea, Aysha said, the head of the department took up the case and assessed her internal performance. He found her claims to be true and accordingly instructed the associate professor concerned to award five more marks. Instead, the professor, Sudarshan Padmanabhan, asked her to meet him on November 11.
14 - (Sudarshan Padmanabhan works at the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences as Associate Professor in Philosophy in which Fathima was a student. The professor, according to the institute website, is a special adviser to foreign students and chairman of the committee for monitoring general facilities for students. He was active off–campus and was involved with various forums that talk about electoral and political reforms. He was a regular participant in many programmes of the Chennai-based non- governmental organisation Arappor Iyakkam.
15 - “Something had transpired during this period, which would have hurt her self-esteem. The police should find out,” Abdul Latheef insisted. Aysha said that Fathima was a bold girl and would never worry about petty issues such as scoring low marks.
16- “She had been telling us that her name annoyed many on the IIT campus. But she was scared of something or somebody.
17 - It was eerie when we came to the IIT after hearing about her death. Everyone, even her classmates, preferred to keep away and avoided us. None came forward to share our grief. They are hiding something. It looked all weird,”
18 - “My name itself is the problem, vappichi”—Fathima Latheef.
19 - “Sudarshan Padmanabhan [an associate professor] is the cause of my death. P.S. Check Samsung notes.”
20- “I love you, umma and chakku. I love you, vappichi and thumbu. You are the only people in this entire world who have made me happy. I will always be with you. I have always loved you….”

26 - Aisha also said that she had read some text messages on Fathima’s phone which hinted at discrimination faced by her sister.“I saw a lot of notes on her phone which show that she was depressed for the last one-and-half months.

27 - Some students from Kerala are also involved in the incidents that led to the suicide of Fathima Latheef, 19, at IIT Chennai last month.
28 - Fathima Latheef’s father Abdul Latheef said, “her college mates, including NRI students and some seniors, have a major role in her death, apart from her teachers who mentally tortured her.

29 - Meanwhile, the forensic department, after inspecting the laptop and tablet PC used by Fathima, confirmed before the court that the suicide note was written by her prior to her suicide. ??????
