Embarrassed by the involvement of the two party functionaries in the crime, Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami expelled the duo from the AIADMK and announced a compensation of Rs.5 lakh to the girl’s family. According to police one of the two assailants -– Murugan -- had nursed a simmering enmity with Jayasri's father Jeyapal, who owned a small shop in Thiruvennainallur village. Last Saturday, some people came to the shop and assaulted Jeyapal’s son Jayaraj (16) on the pretext of buying beedis. Taking advantage of their absence, two people barged into the house, tied Jayasri, poured petrol and set her ablaze. Jayasri had sustained 90 per cent burns but managed to give a dying declaration, which was video recorded by the judicial magistrate on his mobile phone. A few hospital staff members, too, recorded the same and circulated the little girl’s heart wrenching last words in which she keeps pleading for some water.
