Though the anxious family members had been searching for the youth in every possible place ever since he had gone missing, his body was found in the shrubs-filled pond near his house on Monday evening.

The police recovered the body and sent it to the MGM Medical College Hospital (MGMMCH) for postmortem.

The body was decomposed beyond recognition, but the family members identified it from the clothes he had put on and a steel ‘kada’ he was wearing on his right wrist. Later on, the police recovered his mobile phone from his pants’ pocket.

No clue to suggest murder

Although the police are yet to say anything conclusively about the reason behind the youth’s death, the family members claimed he must have been murdered before his body being dumped in the pond.

Kowali Thana OC, Ranjit Oraon said they have got the numbers in the mobile phone checked up thoroughly, but no clue could be got from them suggesting it to be a case of murder.
