Identified as Dasari Vasudha, the victim was found dead in her room which falls under the Madnoor Police station limits.
After hearing the news, the girl's family members, relatives, and even villagers reached the school in large numbers and tried to attack the principal and staff. The situation could be controlled by the police only after a few hours with great difficulty. The crowd alleged that the principal and staff were responsible for the incident.

According to police sources, Vasudha was a native of Manepur village studying first-year Intermediate at the residential school.

The next morning, at around 9.30 am all the students went to pray but Vasudha stayed in the room due to a headache. After some time, the staff found her dead. Later, they informed the family members of the deceased and the police.
After a few hours of receiving the intimidation, Vasudha's family and relatives reached the school, and the police also reached the spot. The angry mob launched an attack, from which the police rescued the principal and staff by locking them in a room.

After several rounds of discussions, the victim's family members agreed to their proposal. Police said that a case would be registered according to their complaint and the responsible persons would be punished according to the law, as per The New Indian Express.
