Dr Vikram Sangwan, who headed the post-mortem examination team at a private hospital in Rohtak, said there was a chemical burn injury on the lip of one of the girls and contusion was on the lip of the second girl.

“There were scar marks on the body of the third girl. As per presumptive, the girls died of poisoning but we are waiting for the viscera report, which would take time. We can’t comment on the poison and how it was given. Police can comment whether poison was suicidal, homicidal or suicidal,” he added.

Shivaji colony police station SHO Desraj said the family does not suspect foul play and they have initiated proceedings under section 174 of the Code of Criminal Procedure and the viscera report will reveal the exact cause of death.
