Investigation into Young Doctor’s Death in Hisar District

Overview of the Case

The tragic death of a young woman doctor in Hisar, Haryana, has sparked significant attention from the Haryana Human Rights Commission. The doctor was allegedly set on fire inside a university room, prompting a thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding her death.

Commission’s Actions

In a recent development, the Haryana Human Rights Commission has summoned an officer from the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to appear with all complete and original investigation records. This action follows a complaint lodged by the deceased doctor’s mother, who reported that her daughter was set ablaze in her university room on April 24, 2025.

Mother’s Allegations

The mother claims that, despite an FIR being registered, the accused was released through collusion with police officials, leading to a lack of effective action. She has approached the commission, seeking a fair and impartial investigation into her daughter’s death.

Hearing Details

According to a report by The Tribune, Commission member Deep Bhatia has instructed the Investigating Officer in charge of the SIT to present relevant documents and evidence at the next hearing, scheduled for April 6 at the Camp Court in Gurugram.

Previous Developments

Previously, in response to the serious allegations, Bhatia had requested a fresh status report. Consequently, the case was transferred to the State Crime Branch in Bhondsi, Gurugram. During the investigation, involved parties were interrogated on December 12, 2025, and the case was subsequently presented to the State Police Complaint Authority in Panchkula on December 29, 2025. The site of the incident was inspected on January 12, 2026.

Commitment to Due Process

The commission has emphasized its commitment to due process, with Bhatia asserting that any negligence, bias, or intentional laxity found in the investigation will result in strict legal consequences for the responsible officials. He stated, “The dignity of human life and the fairness of the legal process are paramount, and the commission remains fully committed to upholding these principles.”
