The girl's father alleged that there were injuries on his daughter's dead body that suggested she had struggled due to someone before her death. He filed a petition saying his wife rushed to school upon learning of the girl's death. She noticed bloodstains about 10 feet away from the body on the hostel verandah wall, alleging the bloodstain was of a palm mark of the girl, he further said in the petition.
"There were injury marks on her body. My family was not allowed to see the hostel room, nor was I allowed to interact with my daughter's roommates," he said, as quoted by New Indian Express.
