Chandigarh, Aug 20
Amid the tension in two Haryana districts over the "mysterious" death of a 19-year-old playschool teacher who was found dead in fields, 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".
In a post on the social media platform X earlier, the Chief Minister said, "The state government and police administration are working with full seriousness and transparency to ensure justice for our daughter Manisha from Bhiwani and her family. I myself am continuously monitoring the reports of this case."
After the police ruled out foul play based on the autopsy report, district administration representatives held talks with a committee formed by villagers to hold talks on behalf of the victim's family, following which they agreed to cremate the body on Tuesday, but didn't perform the last rites.
According to the police, the victim wrote in the suicide note about her parents being upset with her.
