Delhi Court Orders Probe into Gurugram Police Handling of Yuvraj Manchanda's Body
Haryana DGP Ajay Singhal acknowledged lapses in Gurugram Police's handling of Yuvraj Singh Manchanda's decomposed body, recovered from sewage-filled land. The body was preserved for three days per standard procedure before cremation, but delays in uploading details to police databases hindered identification, denying the family timely last rites. A Delhi court criticized these procedural failures and ordered an investigation into police officers and the medical officer's roles. Disciplinary actions and procedural reviews are underway to address these issues.
