Court Demands Fresh Gurugram Police Reply in Yuvraj Case
A court in Delhi is asking the Gurugram Police for clearer information about Yuvraj Singh Manchanda’s death.
The judge said the police response did not properly answer an earlier order.
The court wants records showing what happened to the unidentified body after it was found.
It also wants information about police database entries and CCTV footage.
Yuvraj’s body was found in a drain and was cremated before he was identified.
His sister says important evidence and belongings may not have been handled properly.
Police say Yuvraj was shot by his former colleague Anya Vats and her partner Sanyam Sachdeva.
The accused allegedly kept his body in a car before leaving it in the drain.
The court has ordered the Badshahpur station chief to submit a fuller response before the next hearing.
A Delhi court called the Gurugram Police response on Yuvraj Singh Manchanda’s death “very cryptic” and ordered fresh compliance.
The Saket court sought detailed records on the unidentified body’s trail, delayed ZIPNET entries and CCTV footage.

Yuvraj’s sister alleged that police mishandled forensic evidence, personal belongings and photographs used during identification.
