KOTTAYAM: A few students who wrote the exam with Anju Shaji have alleged that the college principal had threatened her that she would not be allowed to write the exam.

“Half an hour after the exam started, she was caught allegedly for copying. The principle said she won’t be allowed to write the exam anymore. After 45 minutes, Anju went out of the class. The teachers in the exam hall had also not blocked him,” the students said.

Meanwhile, Anju Shaji’s father said her daughter was one of the five best students in her class.

“My dear daughter will never copy…the principal’s role should be probed. Will anyone believe the college authorities’ version that she had written something to copy on her hall ticket?” he quipped.

Anju P Shaji’s body was pulled out of Meenachil river on Monday. She a third year B Com student of Kanjirappally St Antony’s College.
