Dumka, Feb 19 (NationPress) The lifeless body of a young man was discovered hanging from a tree close to Jaruadih village in Jharkhand's Dumka district on Wednesday, igniting suspicions of foul play.
The deceased has been identified as Aryan, a local resident whose home is situated merely 200 metres from the location of the grim discovery.
Family members reported that Aryan departed home on Tuesday evening and did not return. As concern grew over his absence, they began searching for him late into the night, but their efforts were in vain. It was not until the following morning that they found his body suspended from a tree and promptly notified the police.
The family is adamant that Aryan was murdered and that the hanging was orchestrated to simulate a suicide.
They assert that someone may have taken his life and subsequently hung his body to mislead investigators.
The police have launched an inquiry and are interrogating the family regarding any potential feuds Aryan might have had. His call records are currently under scrutiny.
Upon receiving the report, a police team led by Dumka Sadar SDPO Vijay Kumar arrived on-site. A dog squad has also been deployed to aid in the investigation.
In a statement to the press, SDPO Vijay Kumar remarked, "It is premature to draw any conclusions. We are considering all avenues, and a comprehensive investigation is in progress."
This incident follows closely on the heels of a similar case in the Mufassil police station area of Dumka, where a 40-year-old named Brentius Hembrom was found hanging from a tree in the Kadhalbil region. In that instance as well, the victim's family suspected foul play.
With yet another suspicious hanging incident in the district, residents are calling for a thorough investigation to unveil the truth behind these fatalities. The police have guaranteed that all aspects are being examined.
