Police sources said the body was taken to the government hospital at Kadirkamam near here and a post-mortem would be conducted at JIPMER on Wednesday.
Residents along with the girl’s parents staged a protest at Muthialpet junction on Tuesday, urging the police to intensify the investigation and bring the culprits to book. Police were deployed to ensure law and order along with Central Industrial Security Force personnel.
Police sources said two suspects had been taken into custody. “We are interrogating the suspects, and will get a clear picture during interrogation,” the sources added.
Independent legislator Prakash Kumar presented a memorandum to the Director General of Police seeking steps to arrest those behind the death of the girl. He also wanted CCTV cameras to be installed in various places in Muthialpet.
The school where the girl was studying declared a holiday on Wednesday to mourn the death of the student, school sources said.
