CHANDIGARH: The family of 19-year-old playschool teacher Manisha, who was found dead in fields eight days ago, reportedly with a cut mark on her throat, was cremated in her village on Thursday in Haryana's Bhiwani district amid heavy police deployment.
After Bhiwani and Rohtak, her third post-mortem was conducted in AIIMS in Delhi on Wednesday as the family and villagers expressed doubts over the previous ones.
The victim's grandfather, Ram Kishan, said the family was satisfied with the action taken by the government and their demands had been met.
After the post-mortem examination in AIIMS, the body was kept at the Civil Hospital in Bhiwani and was taken to the village in the morning for the last rites amid security.
As a preventive measure, suspension of internet services in Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri districts has been extended till 11 a.m. on Friday.
Earlier, residents of Dhani Laxman village had submitted a memorandum to Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Manoj Kumar and sought that the government conduct an autopsy at AIIMS in Delhi, along with a request that the case be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Sensing sensitivity amid public outrage as the victim's father rejected police probe, suggesting she died by suicide and refused to cremate the body, Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Wednesday recommended a CBI probe into the matter for "full justice".
"On the demand of the family, complete justice will be done by getting the case investigated by CBI, " the Chief Minister said in a statement.
He said the government "is working with transparency to get justice for Manisha and her family".
According to the police, the victim wrote in the suicide note about her parents being upset with her.
