The delegation, which includes commission chairperson Priyanka Kanungo, members Madhulika Sharma and Katyayini Anand, arrived in Thanjavur yesterday. SB, Ravalipriya, Vallam DSP, Brinda, District Primary Education Officer Sivakumar and District Education Officer Kulantairajan appeared before the Thanjavur Railway Guest House.
In addition, the doctors who treated the student, the doctors who performed the autopsy, and the District Child Welfare Officer were also questioned. Muthuvel, who videotaped the student’s confession, received comments from more than 20 people, including Michaelpatti villagers, an alumnus, a student currently attending the school, the student’s maternal grandparents, social activist Pius Manush and lawyer Jeevakumar.
The trial lasted from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Additional Collector Sukaputra coordinated the questions asked on behalf of the Commission and the appellants’ side of the Commission. The one-and-a-half-hour interrogation took place with school teachers, administrators, students and those in custody.
No one at school was forced to change their religion. At a school with a total of 5,000 students, there is no need to force this one student to convert alone. The student will study well. He may have loneliness whenever he goes home because he has white spots. So, such a decision may have been made.
– School student
I took two videos of the dead student and two videos of his stepmother. When I first took the video with the student, I stopped taking the video because the student was suffocating and then took another video. The two videos are not separate; That’s the only video. We tried to give that video to the police after the student died. They are not ready to buy it. Did not read our complaint either.
Due to someone’s pressure, our executives were sent away ugly. Since the video was taken before the student’s death, it should be taken by the police as the student’s death confession.

The student has had skin diseases. Since he has a separate bed and separate meal at home, he stays at the hotel without even thinking of going home on vacation. For that student, natural human life is denied. Stepmother abuse must be addressed immediately.
