'Brain hematoma, ruptured spleen': Chilling details emerge in Deepika Nagar’s autopsy in Greater Noida dowry death case


Disturbing details emerging from the post-mortem report of 24-year-old Deepika Nagar have deepened outrage in the Greater Noida dowry death case, with doctors finding multiple severe internal and external injuries, including a brain hematoma, ruptured spleen and bone-deep wounds, suggesting she suffered extreme physical trauma before her death.

The chilling findings have surfaced amid allegations by Deepika’s family that she was repeatedly harassed, assaulted and pressured for more dowry by her husband Hrithik and his family after marriage. Deepika had allegedly jumped from the third floor of a building in Greater Noida’s Jalpura village following prolonged mental and physical torture linked to escalating dowry demands.

Police have already registered a case in connection with the incident after the woman’s family accused her husband and in-laws of driving her to suicide through continuous abuse and intimidation.

Autopsy points to severe trauma before death

According to the post-mortem report, Deepika Nagar suffered multiple serious injuries across different parts of her body. The report noted internal bleeding in the brain along with hematoma formation in the central and left regions, indicating major head trauma.

Doctors also found rupture of the spleen and signs of haemorrhage, pointing towards intense physical impact before death.

The report further mentioned swelling on her face, injuries on the left elbow and forearm, wounds on the lower abdomen and lower back, and several deep abrasion marks on the chest and abdominal area.

One of the most alarming findings in the report was a large blue contusion measuring nearly 38 cm × 14 cm on the right thigh along with a bone-deep wound on the left knee joint.

Investigators also noted bleeding from the left ear, further raising questions over the extent of injuries sustained before the incident.

Family alleges relentless dowry harassment

Deepika Nagar’s family has accused her husband and in-laws of repeatedly demanding more money and expensive gifts despite substantial dowry being given during the marriage around one-and-a-half years ago.

According to the family, they had provided nearly Rs 10 lakh in cash, a car and jewellery during the wedding ceremonies. However, they alleged that the demands did not stop and gradually escalated over time.

The family claimed that Deepika was later pressured to bring an SUV and Rs 50 lakh in additional cash from her parental home. They further alleged that she faced constant mental harassment and physical assault over the demands.

 

Investigation under focus after shocking forensic findings

The post-mortem findings are expected to become a crucial part of the ongoing investigation as police examine the circumstances leading to Deepika Nagar’s death.

The combination of severe internal injuries and allegations of sustained harassment has intensified scrutiny over the role of the accused family members.

Authorities are continuing their investigation into the case while Deepika’s family has demanded swift arrests and strict punishment for those responsible.
