On the night of the incident, Safna went to her room and locked herself up after Saajitha scolded her for using the phone for a long time. The mother then went to another room, and was doing her tailoring work when she heard the sound of furniture falling in her daughter's room. Saajitha rushed to the room but could not enter as the door was locked from the inside.
She then ran out and woke up a neighbour, who rushed in and kicked the door open. Safna was found hanging from the ceiling fan while an overturned chair lay below her. They cut her down and rushed her to a hospital in Edappally but she was declared 'dead on arrival'.
