Dad: I know Vasantha best, not Kamalanathan


NIBONG TEBAL: The father of M. Vasantha Piriya, the schoolgirl who died after being accused of stealing her teacher’s mobile phone, wants people to stop speculating about his daughter’s mental health and spreading inaccurate stories.

Met at the family home in Taman Tonghai here yesterday, R. Munian­dy, 54, said he was disappointed that Deputy Education Minister Datuk P. Kamalanathan reportedly said that Vasantha cut her wrist in 2016 and that the family did not proceed with the counsellor’s suggestion to get her further medical help.
