The death of a Class XII girl student of a private school in Kallakurichi district on July 13 prima facie appeared to be “a clear case of suicide” and not of rape and murder, as suspected by her parents, the Madras High Court has said.
The death led to large-scale riots and ransacking of public as well as private property worth several crores of rupees on July 17.
However, Justice G.K. Ilanthiraiyan did not find any material to suspect foul play when he sifted through the medical as well as other evidence, including a reported suicide note, while granting bail to the school correspondent, secretary, principal and two women teachers who were arrested following the violence.
