A panel of three doctors, including a gynaecologist, a surgeon and a forensic expert in the college, conducted the autopsy. The gynaecologist was the chairperson of the panel.While the viscera of the deceased has been sent to Patiala for chemical examination, the preliminary examination of the deceased by the doctors during autopsy found that she had died of a traumatic head injury, probably after she was pushed off the moving bus. There were many tissue injuries, including contusions and abrasions, small gashes and minor burns after she fell off the bus. “The head injury she suffered proved to be fatal. It was a traumatic brain injury that happened when the brain was jarred or shaken hard enough to bounce against the skull,” the panel suggested.
