Sources said the doctors took the opinion of psychiatric experts about Shamili, who is still in a state of shock after she was attacked in her hostel on July 19 by a group of girl students.The intermediate first year student, who was allegedly strangulated by two girls with a rope, spoke to the police, including Vizianagaram SP Kartikeya in the hospital on Monday. In a major relief to the girl's family, the doctors said there were no internal injuries to Shamili's vocal cord. The attackers reportedly left scratch marks on her neck. Kartikeya visited the college hostel and interacted with students. The police questioned hostel warden Mahalakshmi and seven roommates of Shamili in the hostel.
