RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA---------------------------The body of a missing young man was recovered on the fifth day in Bhagwatpur village, located within the jurisdiction of the Chandi police station. The body was found on Tuesday evening in a bamboo grove situated in an orchard in Bhagwatpur village. The family members suspect that he was murdered and his body was subsequently dumped. According to reports, the deceased was 35-year-old Ganesh Chaudhary, son of Lal Chaudhary—a resident of Ward No. 9, Bhagwatpur village (under the Chandi police station area). He worked as a laborer.

The deceased’s younger brother, Munna Chaudhary, stated that Ganesh had left home around 7:00 PM on Friday, November 6, and never returned. Family members tried calling his mobile phone until around 10:00 PM, but it remained switched off. Following this, the family filed a missing person’s report at the Chandi police station on November 7.

The family had been searching for him ever since. On Tuesday evening, his body was discovered in a bamboo grove located in an orchard, some distance from the village. The family informed the local police, who arrived at the scene, took custody of the body, and sent it to the Sadar Hospital for a post-mortem examination.

Meanwhile, the deceased’s younger brother, Munna Chaudhary, has expressed suspicion that unknown individuals may have drugged or intoxicated Ganesh—possibly under the guise of sharing food or drink—before murdering him and dumping his body, with the intent of stealing his mobile phone and the locket he wore around his neck. According to the inquest report prepared by the police, the cause of death remains unclear; the exact cause will only be determined once the post-mortem report is available.

The deceased is survived by his wife, Rajkumari Devi, two sons—Karan and Arjun—and a daughter, Ragini. The incident has left the family in a state of deep shock and grief; his wife, Rajkumari Devi, and other family members are inconsolable.
