Summary:

Coimbatore, Aug 4 (PTI) Police on Thursday said they have arrested two more persons in connection with the alleged suicide of 17-year-old girl student of a school here in November last.

A teacher of the school was arrested under POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual offences) Act for the alleged sexual assault based on a letter purportedly written by the Plus-two student who subsequently hanged herself, the police said.

The case became sensational with many political parties staging demonstrations demanding the arrest of the culprits.

The two were produced before a court and remanded in custody, the police said.
