Opposition parties have launched a scathing attack on the BJP-led Haryana government following the brutal murder of a 19-year-old playschool teacher, Manisha, in Bhiwani district. The case has sparked fierce criticism amid allegations of police negligence and government apathy regarding women's safety in the state.

Manisha, whose body was discovered with her throat slit on August 13, had left school two days earlier to inquire about college admission but never returned. Her family accuses the police of delaying actions to register their complaint, fueling public outrage. Protests erupted with demands for immediate justice.

Prominent political figures, including Congress MP Kumari Selja and INLD president Abhay Singh Chautala, have termed the incident a 'black spot,' demanding accountability. The pressure mounts on the Haryana government as citizens question the safety of women and urge stringent action against the culprits.
