The killings came on the day when students were preparing to start summer break this week. The teacher killed has been named in US media as Eva Mireles, who has a daughter in college.
NDTV quoted her out of context and suggested that she supports the so-called right of the 'hijabi girls' of Karnataka to take classes in their religious attire.
Upon getting wind of the impending danger, the neighbors of the female medical worker made safety arrangements for her. Reports mention that Islamists created ruckus in the area after they could not locate Jatau to kill.
