The report states that the death of the victim was caused by manual strangulation associated with smothering, reported The Indian Express.

Several media reports said the autopsy concluded that there was evidence of "forceful penetration/insertion in her genitalia", which indicates sexual assault.

Nine internal injuries were also found.

There were injuries to her private parts as well, reported the newspaper. All injuries were inflicted before death.

The report said "white thick viscid fluid" was found inside her private parts, reported India Today. However, it didn't mention the nature of the substance.

There was no mention of any fracture in the report.

The report also noted hemorrhaging in the lungs and blood clots in the body, the channel reported.

The trainee doctor had gone to the seminar hall of the hospital to rest during her 36-hour-long shift in the state-run hospital. On August 9 morning, her body was found.
