The police started the investigation after Asmiya's family alleged foul play in her death.

Jama'at office-bearers said the Arabic college and the religious school have no connection with the Muslim Jama'ats, madrasas, or mosques of Balaramapuram and the incident took place in an institution run by a private person.
