The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) vigilance and security wing officials, along with the forest department staff and local police, conducted search operations in the forest area early on Saturday morning. They found the girl’s half-eaten body near the 7th mile of the footpath to Tirumala. Later, Lakshita’s body was shifted to SVR Ruia Government General Hospital for postmortem. In the wake of the tragic incident, the TTD is contemplating shutting both the footpaths to Tirumala from Alipiri and Srinivasa Mangapuram at 2 pm and 3 pm respectively.
