The result of Plus One examination conducted by the Kerala Higher Secondary Board, which was released on Tuesday, might hold important clues leading to the fate of the three girls from Konni, Kerala, who died after a fateful train journey.
Local reports suggest that while one of the victims, Athira R Nair (17), passed in all subjects, her friend Arya K Suresh (16) only passed in English and Malayalam and S Raji (16) failed in Physics.
Police had earlier ruled out speculations connecting the girls' death to low academic scores. They pointed out that all of them had secured high marks in the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) examination. While Athira and Arya had secured A+ in all subjects, Raji had got A+ in 9 out of the 10 subjects in the SSLC exam.
The teachers of GHSS, Konni, where the girls studied, also said that the girls excelled in academic and extra-curricular activities.
