The Manisha case refers to the brutal murder of a 19-year-old play school teacher named Manisha in Bhiwani district, Haryana, India. She was found dead with her throat slit in the fields of Singhani village on August 13, 2025. Manisha had gone missing after leaving her school on August 11 to inquire about admission at a nearby nursing college but did not return home. Her family alleged that her body showed signs of burning and accused the police of delay and negligence in registering the complaint and investigating the case. The case sparked outrage and led to the suspension of five police personnel, including the Station House Officer of Loharu, and the transfer of the Superintendent of Police of Bhiwani. The Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini ordered strict action and emphasized the safety of citizens as a priority. A fresh postmortem report was demanded by Manisha's family due to dissatisfaction with the initial report. The police suspect that Manisha was abducted and later killed, and investigations are ongoing to identify and arrest the culprits behind the murder.
