Police said that her parents were daily wage labourers. The victim was studying in a government aided school in Kilacheri village in the district.
The case has been registered at Mappedu police station and has been transferred to the Crime Branch-Criminal Investigation Department (CB-CID). CB-CID Officials are now enquiring the school staff members and hostel warden in the school campus.
Gayathri, cousin sister of the victim and Padaiyappa, cousin brother of the victim said, “We have our own apprehensions on her death and we suspect something hidden behind her death. We won’t get the body (before her autopsy) and will not know what really happened to her. She is not the kind of girl who would attempt suicide. She is so innocent with a kind heart.”
“Even on the night of July 24, she spoke with family members. She was sounding normal too. There is a mystery behind her death,” they said.
