The postmortem report of a 24-year-old woman, whose family alleged she was murdered over dowry demands in Greater Noida, has found a brain bleed, rupture of internal organs and multiple contusions on the body of the deceased.

Viscera samples of the deceased woman have been preserved for forensic analysis.

According to the postmortem report of Deepika Nagar, bleeding was present from the victim's left nostril and mouth. The report stated that a hematoma (blood leaking from large blood vessels) was present in the middle and left side of the brain.

The report, accessed by PTI, further stated that the liver, spleen and right kidney were ruptured.

The report also mentioned contusions on the arm and thigh.

The viscera has been preserved to ascertain the presence of any toxic substance, according to the report.

Earlier on Tuesday (May 19, 2026), police at the Ecotech-3 police station had said that the exact cause of death was not yet clear and doctors had not given a final opinion.

Deepika was found dead on Sunday (May 17, 2026) night at her matrimonial home in Jalpura village in Uttar Pradesh's Gautam Buddh Nagar district.

Her family, however, has alleged that she was murdered by her in-laws over dowry demands and claimed it was neither a suicide nor an accident.

Police have arrested Deepika's husband Hrithik (26) and father-in-law Manoj, while efforts are underway to apprehend the remaining accused named in the FIR registered under provisions related to dowry death.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Shailendra Kumar Singh had earlier said that the case was registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by Deepika's father, Sanjay Nagar.

According to the complaint, Deepika had called her father on Sunday (May 17, 2026) afternoon while crying and allegedly told him that her in-laws were assaulting her over dowry demands.

The family alleged that the in-laws were demanding a Toyota Fortuner SUV and an additional ₹45-50 lakh in cash.

Sanjay Nagar claimed that he and some relatives had gone to Deepika's matrimonial home around 7 p.m. on Sunday (May 17, 2026) in an attempt to resolve the dispute.

He alleged that around 12.30 a.m., the family received a call from the in-laws asking them to reach Sharda Hospital.

"When I reached the hospital, I found my daughter lying dead," Mr. Nagar had said earlier, alleging that her body bore multiple injury marks and what appeared to be wounds caused by a screwdriver.

"My daughter has been killed for dowry," he had alleged.

Mr Nagar also claimed there were discrepancies in the versions given by the in-laws about the incident.

On Monday (May 18, 2026), Deepika's family had alleged that the nature of injuries on her body did not appear consistent with a fall.

Speaking to PTI on Monday (May 18, 2026) night, Deepika's father had alleged that his daughter's body bore marks that appeared to have been caused by a screwdriver.

The woman's aunt, Geeta Devi, had alleged that Deepika was pushed from the building and later either stabbed or shot when she survived the fall.

The family further alleged that Deepika was subjected to mental and physical harassment within a few months of her marriage in December 2024.

Police said videography of the postmortem examination was conducted and additional sections would be invoked depending on the outcome of the investigation and forensic reports.
