The Story in Brief
The CBI has filed a closure report before a special court in Panchkula, calling the death of 19-year-old private play-school teacher Manisha a suicide. The agency said she consumed insecticide after buying it herself from Devender Khad Beej Bhandar. Investigators cited a sale receipt, a multispecialty medical board and a psychological assessment that found she was depressed.
Manisha left home in Dhani Laxman village on August 11, 2025, and her body was found two days later near a canal in Singhani village, with neck injuries. Three post-mortems were conducted after protests. The CBI took up the case after Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini ordered an inquiry. Manisha’s father has rejected the report and plans to oppose it at the next hearing on August 27.
The Indian Opinion
The easy narratives here run in opposite directions: that protests prove a cover-up, or that a closure report ends the matter. Neither is enough. The CBI’s medical and psychological findings matter, but so does the family’s challenge, especially after three post-mortems and alleged police lapses. The court must test the evidence, including the insecticide receipt and injury findings, before the case is treated as settled.
