Meanwhile, the National Commission for Scheduled Caste (NCSC) has commenced its probe into the matter. On Saturday, March 9, a three-member NCSC team headed by its director S Ravivarman
visited Puducherry. The team met with the doctors in JIPMER who conducted the autopsy and also held discussions with the SIT. They also visited the crime spot and the victim’s family.
Addressing the media, Ravivarman said that they got to know that the victim belonged to the SC community through media reports and decided to take suo moto action. “The doctors said they
were shocked and heartbroken on seeing the injuries sustained by the girl during the brutal assault. They will be doing DNA tests shortly. They collected samples from the girl's body,
which was soaked in the drain for four days. Police have also collected liquor bottles, cigarette butts, and some belongings of the accused for detailed analysis,” Ravivarman said, according
to a _Times of India report_. The NCSC director had also said that the victim’s family will be given a compensation of Rs 7.12 lakh now and another Rs 4 lakh once the charge sheet is filed.
The girl who was studying in class 5 went missing on March 2. Her decomposed body was found bundled in a white-coloured dhoti on March 5. It was recovered from a drain just 200 metres from
her house.
