Haryana DGP Acknowledges Lapses in Handling Yuvraj Singh Manchanda's Body
Haryana DGP Ajay Singhal acknowledged lapses in the handling of Yuvraj Singh Manchanda's decomposed body, recovered from sewage-filled land in Badshahpur. He defended the three-day preservation procedure followed by Gurugram Police, citing standard operating procedures that limit body preservation to prevent decomposition. Manchanda went missing on September 6, and his body was cremated on September 14 after an autopsy. The court has taken cognizance of the lapses, prompting the police to review and amend their instructions.
