The last rites of 19-year-old teacher Manisha, whose mysterious death in Haryana’s Bhiwani has sparked widespread protests and political controversy, were performed on Thursday (August 21) in her native village, Dhani Laxman. A large gathering from the village and surrounding areas attended the cremation as her inconsolable father, Sanjay, broke down when the funeral pyre was lit by Manisha’s younger brother.
