Kallakurichi schoolgirl death: Girl's last rites to be performed in Cuddalore today

KALLAKURICHI: The body of the deceased Class 12 girl Srimathi, was handed over to her parents, on Saturday morning at Kallakurichi Government Medical College and Hospital in Tamil Nadu.

The death of the girl led to violence and vandalism at a school in Kallakurichi on July 17.

The family is taking the body to Periyanesalur village in Cuddalore where her funeral will be held.

The Madras high court on Friday had ordered the family of the girl to accept the body which was in police custody.

The HC had directed them to receive the body before 7am on Saturday and complete the rites before 6pm.

Earlier, while rejecting the contention of the petitioner seeking a third postmortem examination of the body with a team of doctors of his choice, Justice N Sathish Kumar constituted a team of forensic experts from Puducherry JIPMER Hospital to examine the already conducted two autopsy reports and videos and provide a final opinion.
