Missing Since Thursday, 14-Year-Old Boy Murdered, Body Stuffed In Sack A 14-year-old boy, Atharva Nanore, was found murdered and his decomposed body stuffed in a sack after going missing during a Hanuman Jayanti procession in Nagpur. The boy, a Class 8 student, disappeared on Thursday, April 2, and his body was discovered on Saturday, April 4, at Bharatwada, 20 kilometers from his home. The discovery sparked widespread outrage and protests in Gittikhadan, where the boy’s family resides. Locals accused the police of delayed action, leading to a volatile situation where authorities resorted to lathicharges to disperse protesters. Atharva’s body was found at a railway overbridge in Kalmeshwar, wrapped in a sugarcane sack marked with the “Kalmana Market” trademark. The sack was placed against a pillar on the bridge’s sidewalk, and a passerby noticed blood seeping from it around 3:30 PM. Preliminary investigations suggest Atharva was throttled to death, with his limbs tied using rope. The police suspect premeditated murder and have referred the case to Gittikhadan, where a kidnapping case was already registered. Atharva, the younger son of vegetable vendor Dilip Nanore and housewife Rewati, joined the Hanuman Jayanti procession on Thursday. He told friends he was stepping out for ice cream and was last seen near a private hospital around 10:35 PM. CCTV footage captured him at an ice cream parlour near a nursing home in Friends Colony at 11:20 PM, where he stood with two others who left without him. Sources indicate Atharva likely walked willingly with his abductors, suggesting he knew them. His captors appeared familiar with the locality, using narrow bylanes to avoid CCTV cameras. The family reported Atharva missing late on April 2 after he failed to return home.#nagpur #hanuman_jayanti #gittikhadan #atharva_nanore #kalmana_market
