The postmortem of Parvinder Singh Jhota in Mansa has been postponed after officials decided to heat the corpse to facilitate internal examination.
Mansa police confirmed that the scheduled postmortem of Parvinder Singh Jhota, a resident of the district, has been put on hold. The forensic team cited the need to apply controlled heat to the body in order to loosen internal tissues before a thorough examination can be carried out.
The decision, announced by local authorities, means that the autopsy will be rescheduled once the preparation work is completed. Officials emphasized that the additional step is required to obtain accurate forensic evidence, especially in cases where decomposition or trauma may hinder standard procedures.
The delay also impacts a planned "Insaaf Morcha" (justice march) that was to coincide with the postmortem findings. Organisers have said the rally will be postponed until the examination concludes and results are released.
No further details about the cause of death or the investigation have been disclosed at this stage.
