Bhiwani Mahapanchayat Sets 21-Day Deadline for CBI on Teacher Manisha's Death
A Khap Mahapanchayat in Dhani Laxman village, Bhiwani district, has given the CBI a 21-day deadline to conclude its investigation into schoolteacher Manisha's death. Manisha went missing on August 11, and her body was found two days later. Police initially treated it as murder but later suggested suicide, a view opposed by locals and her family. Manisha's father, Sanjay Kumar, has threatened an indefinite hunger strike outside the Deputy Commissioner's office if no progress is made by June 29. A 15-member Sangharsh Samiti was formed to lead the agitation, with support from multiple khap panchayats across Haryana.
