Hindu Munnani women's wing holds protest seeking justice in teen girl suicide case

The women's wing of Hindu Munnani on Tuesday staged a demonstration here seeking justice for the teenage girl who died by suicide on January 19 in Thanjavur.

The 17-year old student from Ariyalur died by suicide allegedly due to 'torture' by the school to convert to Christianity.

With their eyes covered with black cloths and holding earthen lamps, the women's wing of the outfit assembled in front of Siddhi Vinayagar Temple and raised slogans against the school management demanding the government take stringent action against it.

They also held placards seeking to close down Christian management schools in the state that are indulging in 'conversion activities' and to take action against senior police officials trying to protect the school management.

The outfit had already sought a probe by the CBI or NIA in the case to ensure the truth comes out. It has alleged that TN police officials have presumed that there was no conversion angle in the case even before completing their investigation.
