CM Saini said that the state government and police administration are working to ensure justice for the victim, Manisha, and he is monitoring the reports on the case.
Taking to X, the Chief Minister wrote, "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."
Based on the family's demand, the Haryana government is going to hand over this case to the CBI for an impartial investigation. Full justice will be ensured in this matter," CM Saini added. This comes after a protest was held in the victim's village, Bhiwani, to demand a CBI investigation.
A protestor told ANI, "This is a murder case. The Haryana government fooled us by calling it a suicide. Under the leadership of farmer leaders Sardar Gurunam Singh Cheema and Suresh Kot, we have started our protest again in Manisha's village. Her last rites have not taken place yet. We have two demands: first, there should be a CBI investigation. Secondly, for the third time, her post-mortem should take place in Delhi's AIIMS hospital."
Meanwhile, the Haryana Home Secretary on Tuesday ordered the suspension of the mobile internet services, bulk SMS and all dongle services provided on mobile networks except the voice calls till 11 AM on August 21 in the jurisdiction of the districts Bhiwani and Charkhi Dadri.
