Her family lives in Seneerkuppam near Poonamallee. She had completed her MBBS from a private institute in Coimbatore. Lokeshwaran hails from Salem, police said. The kin of the deceased couple have sought the help of the Tamil Nadu government as well as the Union government in bringing the bodies of the newly-wed couple to Chennai through the Indian embassy in Indonesia. Relatives of the victims said that arrangements have been made to bring the bodies to Malaysia and then to Tamil Nadu, as there is no direct flight from Indonesia to Chennai.
