Actress Priya Bhavani Shankar who is known for acting in films such as “Mafia”, “Meyadha Maan”, “Kadaikutty Singam” became the first Tamil heroine to raise for Srimathi, a 12th student who allegedly committed suicide due to the torture of students. Uploading a picture with the stuent and her mother’s picture, Priya added the hashtag “Justice for Srimathi” in her tweet which is receiving huge reception from the users of the micro blogging social media site.

On Sunday, a huge protest tok place at Kallakurichi, Tamilnadu regarding the death of a teen student at a private residential school. Initially, reports suggested that the girl wrote a letter reasoning the cause of her death but her parents who had doubts in their daughter’s demise, staged a protest with their relatives.

Though the teachers denied the allegations, parents and relatives of the student blocked the Kallakurichi-Salem highway on Wednesday, raising slogans against the school management. The incident took place near Kaniyamoor town.

In the note which was left behind, the girl named two teachers and accused them of torturing her and other two students to study always. “The two teachers were brought to the police station for an inquiry. They said that they just casually asked her to concentrate more and study hard as she was very playful” said S Selvakumar, SP of Kallakurichi.

Close to 50 family members staged a “Road Roko” at the Kallakurichi-Salem highway seeking justice for her death, accusing the school management of pushing her to take the extreme step, said the police. The protest turned violent and massive on Sunday.

While the school was completely ransacked, the protesters set fire to all the school vehicles. During the protest, 55 policemen were injured due to stone pelting. Followed by the outrageous protest, Maths and Physics teacher were arrested.

According to police, more than 329 people who were involved in the riot were arrested. Now, on Monday, Madras High Court made a series of comments regarding the case. Firmly assuming that the protest didn’t take place in anger but a completely staged one, the court allowed for the post mortem of the girl’s body one more time and ordered the parents to do the final rituals in a peaceful manner.

Now, as reaction to the ongoing turn of events, actress Priya Bhavani Shankar raised voice in support of the student who died. Uploading a picture of student Srimathi and her mother, Priya said “#justiceforsrimathi” as her caption.
