The police said that they also found a suicide note from the spot, and they ruled out any foul play behind the death. They further said that the medical student did not blame anyone on her suicide note. They said that she had, however, apologized to her parents for being unable to fulfill their dreams. 

According to the investigation, the student had dropped out of the previous semester but was planning to continue her studies in the next semester. 

The incident came to light at around 2.30 pm. As per sources, the house in which her body was found in Sector 22 was allotted to the medico's mother, who had retired from the Haryana Vidhansabha around five months ago. 

The medico was living there on her own for some time, whereas her parents and her elder brother, had shifted to a house in DLF near Chandimandir in Panchkula. Her father used to work as a retired government doctor. 

A police officer told the Indian Express, "The incident came to light when the girl's mother visited the Sector 22 residence to check on her. She knocked on the door several times but did not receive any response. The mother then proceeded to climb onto the roof of the house from where she peeped inside but saw no movement in the house. After this, she grew concerned and raised the alarm, and informed the police. A police team soon reached the spot and broke open the front door to gain entry. There they found the student's body hanging from the hook of a ceiling fan. They also noticed that the wrist of her right hand bore several sharp injury marks and her feet were tied with a piece of cloth. The body was brought down and a brief search of the house led to the recovery of a note. The mother informed that her daughter was scheduled to go to GMCH-32 for taking admission in the current semester, but she was nervous. In the note, she claimed that she failed to fulfill the dreams of her parents. We have collected samples of the girl's handwriting from her notebooks. The note will be sent to CFSL-36 for analysis and will be matched with her handwriting."

The SHO of Sector 19 police station, Inspector Om Parkash, said, "A team of forensic experts combed the spot. The spot was also a videographer. An autopsy will be conducted by a panel of doctors on Tuesday. We have initiated inquest proceedings."

As per a media report in the Times of India, the police have been reporting the statements of her family friends, and family. 

The body is kept in the mortuary of GMSH-16, after a post-mortem was conducted on Tuesday. The police have begun an investigation and registered a case under Section 174 of CrPC.
