Overview

  • Police say viscera testing detected insecticide, CCTV shows her visiting an insecticide shop, a register records a purchase, and a handwritten note was recovered from her bag with handwriting experts saying it matches.
  • Post-mortem reports describe lacerations with a gnawing effect from scavenging animals, and Rohtak’s PGIMS report rules out rape and a slit throat.
  • The family disputes the suicide claim, questions why the note was not disclosed earlier, and continues a sit-in while refusing cremation until arrests are made.
  • Protests spread across Bhiwani, Hisar, Fatehabad and Jind, including a DelhiPilani road blockade and a mahapanchayat demanding accountability and a CBI probe.
  • The state transferred Bhiwani’s SP, suspended five Loharu police personnel and formed multiple teams for the probe, while the NHRC sought a report from the Haryana DGP.
