She has also mentioned that her eyes should be donated and her post mortem should not be done."
A family friend outside the SMS Hospital mortuary said that in her suicide note, Chanchal Chauhan had mentioned that no one was responsible for her suicide.
She even wrote in her note that her body should not be taken to their home as her daughter in law was expecting a child and it would be inauspicious for the child in the womb.
