Following the death of three second-year students of SVS College of Naturopathy and Yoga Sciences in Vilupuram, Tamil Nadu, various political parties, student forums and human rights’ organisations are asking for a judicial probe into their deaths. The girls’ limbs were reportedly found tied when their bodies were taken out of a well near the college, according to the police.

The Madras High Court gives order to conduct re-post mortem of 1 of the 3 dead in Villapuram. The father of the girl had earlier filed a petition in the high court seeking a re-post mortem.

Meanwhile, parents of the other college students will be meeting the Vice Chancellor of MGR University to ask justice for those girls. One of the main concerns being aired now is that there are no regulatory bodies for keeping check on naturopathy and yoga colleges in the country.

On January 23, three second year students, T Monisha (19) from Chennai, E Saranya (19) of Kancheepuram district and V Priyanka (19) of Tiruvarur, were found dead in a well near their college.
