KOTTAYAM: Father of Anju, the girl who committed suicide in Pala, has demanded action against the college principal. Speaking at a press meet, Anju's father Shaji said that his daughter committed suicide following mental torture from the principal.

While stating that his daughter would not cheat in the exams, Shaji added that the principal had threatened her and tortured her by accusing her of cheating. The college authorities had earlier stated that Anju had copied portions of her lessons on the back of her hall ticket.
