Delhi Police found the dead body of the young woman, a native of Manipur’s Bishnupur district, near Maharani Bagh in the Sunlight Colony police station area of Delhi on April 19, 2025, Surjit Mangang noted.
Despite the Delhi Police stating that the incident appeared to be a suicide, supported by CCTV footage showing Priyaluxmi jumping from a rooftop, Surjit Mangang added that the JAC remains unconvinced.
The JAC further urged Manipur Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla and Chief Secretary PK Singh to intervene and push for a meticulous and unbiased investigation.
