Second autopsy endorses first report findings

New Delhi, July 19

The second autopsy report of a woman air hostess of Lufthansa, who allegedly committed suicide at Panchsheel Park in South Delhi, endorses the first report that said she first sustained injury on her neck, a senior police officer said. 

Anissia Batra (39) allegedly jumped off the terrace of her residence following an argument with her husband Mayank Singhvi on Friday.

He was arrested on a charge of dowry death.

The second autopsy was conducted as her family said the first postmortem was not videographed, the police said. 

The officer said the second autopsy confirmed the findings of the first report, which stated that she first sustained an injury on her neck, indicative of the theory that she jumped herself and was not pushed. She sustained 15 injuries on her body, but the neck injury led to her instantaneous death, he said.

The doctors, who carried out the autopsy, spoke to Anissia’s family and explained to them the nature of her injuries to remove their doubts, the officer said. — TNS
