"Four people are being interrogated as of now and cases of cheating, extortion and abetting suicide are registered against them. Four teams have been set up to secure the rest," said Villupuram collector Lakshmi.

"Post mortem is underway on the body of Saranya, and we are trying to convince the other two families to conduct the postmortem here. Other students have given then demands in writing and we have taken it for consideration," she added.

She further stated that the students of the college have demanded immediate arrest for the people related to this incident and action against the college for exorbitant fees collected.

They have also demanded that the students who are undergoing their courses in the college should be transferred to other college and asked for financial assistance of Rs. 10 lakh for the deceased students.

Three second-year students of SVS Medical College of Yoga and Naturopathy and Research Institute at Kallakurichi near Viluppuram in Tamil Nadu committed suicide on Saturday evening, accusing the administration of charging excess fees and 'torture' and blaming college chairman Vasuki Subramanian for their death.
