LUCKNOW, Jan. 15 -- A day after the post-mortem examination indicated death due to hanging and revealed four ante-mortem injury marks on the body of a 26-year-old software engineer found dead in Saudi Arabia, Chinhat police have decided to seek both legal opinion on the course of the investigation and a detailed medico-legal assessment of the injuries.

The body of Aiman Khan was brought to Lucknow on Tuesday following her death in Jeddah on December 18. The autopsy conducted on Wednesday concluded that the cause of death was asphyxia due to hanging. However, doctors also recorded four injury marks on different parts of the body, raising serious questions that investigators said could not be ignored.
