“We are waiting for the family to lodge an FIR. The girl has named some people in the note and we are looking into it,” a police official said.

“Her family members have arrived and they haven’t filed a complaint yet,” he added.

Two of her hostel mates, aged nine and 11, told the police that 11 of them had dinner together following which they retired to their rooms. The deceased was last seen writing something on a piece of paper.
