Gittikhadan Community Mourns 14-Year-Old Atharva Nanore's Murder People from diverse communities in Gittikhadan gathered on Sunday to mourn the death of 14-year-old Atharva Nanore, a Class 8 student whose body was discovered stuffed in a sack on April 4. The boy, kidnapped from the Gittikhadan area on April 2 during Hanuman Jamnotsav celebrations, was found on the Bharatwada overbridge on the ring road. A preliminary autopsy confirmed he was strangulated with a cloth, showing clear compression marks on his neck. The discovery triggered widespread grief, with residents standing shoulder-to-shoulder to bid him a final farewell as his body arrived at the locality from Govt Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) at 3pm. The tragedy sparked demands for justice, with mourners expressing collective anguish over the loss of an innocent life. Congress leader Rizwan Khan Moovi and Bablu Tiwari, a key Hanuman temple office-bearer, joined residents in calling for the accused to be arrested and for a thorough investigation. Hundreds participated in a funeral procession to Mankapur Ghat for the last rites, while family members, visibly shaken, received comfort from locals. Heavy security was deployed at Gittikhadan Chowk, including police officers, riot control commandos, and women constables, alongside a surveillance van with CCTV cameras. Police are probing the motive behind the murder, suspecting an "insider's job" due to the boy’s apparent trust in the perpetrator. The lack of resistance from Atharva, who reportedly went with the suspect without protest, has raised questions about the relationship between the victim and the accused. Investigators are examining CCTV footage, questioning the father’s business associates, and analyzing digital records, including call details and phone locations.#govt_medical_college_hospital #gittikhadan #atharva_nanore #mankapur_ghat #hanuman_jamnotsav
