A report about the family members of student Srimathi demanding compensation from the government has been surfaced in the internet platforms. A video showing a representative of the family saying that they are expecting at least Rs. 1 crore of compensation and a government job for the mother of Srimathi who studied M.com. An advocate named Vignesh Kumar shared the video in his official social media handles and expressed his dejection over the family members turning the demand of justice into compensation.

On Sunday, a huge protest took place at Kallakurichi, Tamilnadu regarding the death of Srimathi, a teen student at a private residential school named Sakthi Matriculation. 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. However, mother of the deceased said that she is going to approach Supreme Court to get justice for the death of her child.

Now, an advocate named Vignesh Muthukumar shared the video of the representative of the deceased family who asked for compensation and expressed his disagreement. In the video, the family’s representative could be seen saying that the family of Srimathi is suffering due to poverty and said that it will be helpful for them if government provides Rs. 1 crore as compensation.

Further, the individual said that Srimathi’s mother had studied till M.com and wanted the government to provide a government job. Sharing the video, advocate Muthukumar said “Till yesterday, we were seeking for justice and now they are asking for money. The case is still pending in high court and the body of the school girl wasn’t disposed properly yet. Post mortem had took place two times to bring the truth. Demanding compensation at this point doesn’t sounds good” the advocate added.
