The mortal remains of the deceased class 12th girl, who allegedly killed herself after reportedly suffering harassment in Tamil Nadu's Kallakurichi, was taken for the final rites in Cuddalore's Veppur on Saturday.
Hundreds of locals and family members mourned her loss as the final rites were performed after her body reached her native village. Heavy police were deployed in the area to maintain law and order.
The body of the girl was handed to her parents from the Kallakurichi Government Medical College and Hospital after the Madras High Court ordered them to collect the body no later than 11.00 am.
The state government has asked the court to give instructions to the parents in order to collect the girl's mortal remains and perform the last rites.
Earlier, the HC ordered a second autopsy of the girl who allegedly killed herself after she reportedly suffered harassment from two teachers of her school in Tamil Nadu's Kallakurichi.
The death of the schoolgirl led to violence and vandalism wherein nearly 70 vehicles were torched and over 108 people were injured in the protests.
