Body of woman missing for 28 days found in field in Nagpur's Hingna; DNA test under way

Nagpur: A woman who had been missing for 28 days has apparently been found dead, with a decomposed body discovered in a field in Hingna, Nagpur, causing a stir. Her family had kept searching for her while the police looked for leads.

The body is in such a state that the face cannot be used to identify it. The dead woman is said to be Bali alias Meena Ranveer Telang. Police are conducting a DNA test to confirm the identification.

Meena, who lived at Deoli, Pendhari, went missing from her home on the night of October 6. That night, she and her husband Ranveer had an argument over a conversation with someone. After the argument, the husband went and sat in the hall, while Meena went to the kitchen to cook.

When the husband reached the kitchen some time later, Meena was not there. Despite a long search, no trace of her was found. Finally, on October 7, a complaint about her disappearance was registered at Hingna police station. The police registered a case of abduction and began an investigation.

Later, police received information that a decomposed body of a woman was lying in a field in Deoli, and the force was shaken. Police reached the spot and began their investigation. The body was in such a poor state that identification from the face was not possible. Based on clothes found at the spot, police suspect the body could be that of the missing Meena Telang.

Considering the seriousness of the case, DCP Zone 1 Rishikesh Singareddy and Inspector Pramod Ghonge reached the spot with a police team. Police are currently having a DNA test done. A case of accidental death has also been registered and an investigation begun.

To recap, Meena disappeared from her home on the night of October 6, a complaint was registered at Hingna police station on October 7, and this body was found in a field 28 days later. The DNA test is currently being used to confirm whether the body is hers. Until then, police only suspect her identity.
