Gloom descended all over the school premises when the body of Aleena was brought to St Clare's Convent Girls Higher Secondary in Thrissur for friends and faculties to pay homage. Hundreds of students and teachers paid their respects to Aleena while many failed to hold back tears. The murmur of wailing reverberated all through the premises. It was heartbreaking scenes when Nima's mother Sally came to see Aleena for the last time.

After that, the body was brought home. The funeral took place at St. Francis Xavier's Forane Church, Pathalkad at 5 pm. Christina is Aleena's sister. Ann Grace's body was released to her relatives after post-mortem. The funeral will be held on Tuesday. Minister K Rajan visited the house and paid homage.

The accident happened around 3 pm on Sunday. Two students while sitting on the rocks slipped into the dam. The others tried to help but also fell into the water.

All reached the dam from Hima’s house which was nearby. Hima’s sister Nima also fell into the dam while helping the others. She is now undergoing treatment. It was Hima who screamed seeing her beloveds getting drowned, which alerted the locals. The three friends were on a visit to Hima’s house to celebrate the festival in a church nearby.
