Panchkula Court Orders Fresh Probe in Manisha's Death, Rejects CBI Closure ReportPreviousNext

A Panchkula CBI court rejected the closure report in the 18-year-old Manisha's death case, ordering further investigation amid doubts over the Haryana Police and CBI probes. The court questioned the suicide theory, citing AIIMS medical board findings indicating murder and criticized the handling of evidence, including alleged suicide notes and unexamined CCTV footage from Ideal Nursing College. The victim's family and witnesses contested police claims, prompting the court to highlight possible investigative lapses and potential concealment of facts.
