The accused has been identified as Gautam Khanna. The FIR was lodged based on the complaint filed on December 15, 2021, by the victim’s sister, Neetu Chalani from Agra.

She told the police that her sister, Anshika, had married Gautam in 2012. She said that on November 3, 2021, her sister died of dengue, following which inquest proceedings were initiated by the police.

After taking legal opinion and preliminary inquiry by superintendent of police (investigation), Mohali, a case was registered under Section 304 (causing death by negligence) of Indian Penal Code against Gautam at Mataur police station. The accused is yet to be arrested.
