Representatives of women rights group and village-level grassroots organizations also took part in the protest. Similar protests were held recently at Naachchimaar temple and in Ariyaalai, following the brutal murder of a mentally affected woman from Vanni, staying with her relatives in Ariyaalai and was being looked after by the Holy Family Convent in Jaffna.

Maithili was recovered dead from a well, located 800 meters from her house, allegedly after 3 unidentified men took her into their custoday outside her house after making a phone call to her.

The medical inspection by the JMO at Jaffna Hospital has established that the victim's injuries indicated sexual abuse and rape. The villagers also say that there were remains of blood outside the well, which is located near the SL military guarded Puththoor junction on Jaffna - Point Pedro Road.
