Almost four months after the mysterious death of a woman in Ludhiana, the autopsy report has finally revealed the truth behind her death.
The report has established that Nisha, a resident of Yamunanagar, had not faced a natural death rather she was poisoned to death.
Earlier, the police had only initiated inquest proceedings in the case. But following the receipt of the post-mortem examination report, the Shimlapuri police here on Monday registered a case against her husband Sahil Saini, his mother Sunita and father Subhash Saini, residents of Karnal, Haryana, and uncle Satish on the complaint of Nisha’s father Mohan Lal and initiated an investigation.
While speaking to the media, Mohan Lal, a resident of Yamunanagar in Haryana and a farmer by profession, said in early 2025, a marriage proposal for his daughter Nisha was brought by Sahil. The couple got married on April 6, 2025.
Mohan alleged that their troubles began from the day of the wedding itself. He claimed that Sahil and other members of his family started harassing Nisha for dowry. Just days after the marriage, Sahil allegedly demanded Rs 8 lakh. He also allegedly beat Nisha and pressured her to bring a car from her parental home.
In December, Sahil came to the Shimlapuri area of Ludhiana for work. Nisha continued to face atrocities at the hands of the suspects. On January 4, 2026, Nisha told her father that she was going to her sister-in-law Pooja’s house with her husband for a meal. After eating, she started vomiting and her condition deteriorated rapidly. She was rushed to the PGIMER, where she died on January 12.
Mohan alleged that he had been repeatedly telling the police that his daughter was poisoned by the suspects but the police did not take any action. Instead, they registered a DDR on the statement of Nisha’s mother, Krishna Devi. After the autopsy, the viscera report was sent for examination. Mohan accused the police of deliberately delaying the case.
The deceased’s father revealed that in March, he approached the DGP’s office, after which police action picked up pace. On April 16, after the post-mortem report was received, the Shimlapuri police registered a case against the suspects on Mohan Lal’s complaint.
Inspector Jatinder Kumar said the police would soon arrest all suspects.
