Half-eaten body of Dahisar youth found in jungles of national park

A Dahisar resident committed suicide by hanging himself in the forest area of Sanjay Gandhi National Park.

Identified as Deepak Padu, 25-year-old deceased took the extreme step after allegedly having an argument with his wife. His body was recovered from the jungle by locals living around the forest.

According to police, animals had eaten away the body but they managed to identify it as his because of his shirt and wallet.

During the preliminary inquiry, police have found out that Padu and his wife had fought over a domestic issue on Wednesday morning. Later in the evening his wife tried calling him but his mobile phone was switched off, which worried her.

She then informed their relatives, who then tried to search for Padu, but could not find him. During a search for Padu on Friday evening, locals found a body hanging in the forest. After seeing the body, locals informed the police.

Dahisar police has registered an accidental death report and is taking statements of the family, relatives and friends of deceased.
