A post-mortem examination of her body has been carried out with her body parts sent to a laboratory for tests. Her autopsy report is likely to unravel the mystery surrendering her death.
The police took notice of new reports in Italian media, which said that Cheema had been murdered in honour killing.
Cheema wanted to marry a man of her choice in Italy against the wishes of her family members, who wanted her to marry someone in the family.
