Chandigarh Rose Garden Death: Police Report No Sign Of Murder So Far

CCTV places her arriving alone minutes before the discovery, leaving the murder-or-suicide question to the autopsy.

Overview

  • Diksha Thakur, 30, was found with a fatal neck wound in the women's toilet at Rose Garden on November 29 and died shortly after being taken to GMSH-16.
  • Investigators recovered a four-inch kitchen-style knife, two mobile phones, and her bag containing prescribed medication, and they sealed the toilet and stepped up security.
  • Police say no suspicious person was seen near the facility at the time, and the family has not alleged foul play, though a murder case was registered on the first responder’s statement.
  • CCTV shows her arriving near the Sector‑17 underpass in an e‑rickshaw around 3 pm and walking toward the park before she was found critically injured within about 15 minutes.
  • Teams are reviewing footage and call records and awaiting post‑mortem and forensic reports, with inquiries noting recent medical leave for anxiety and the absence of sanitation staff who might have witnessed the incident.
