Police Administration's Statement and Further Action
Addressing the media regarding the incident, Naugachhia Superintendent of Police (SP) Vaibhav Sharma stated that the police are investigating the matter thoroughly from every possible angle:
"The body of an unidentified young man has been recovered near the approach road close to Sripur and the railway overbridge. Prima facie, looking at the injury marks on the body, this appears to be a case of murder. Information has been dispatched to neighboring districts and police stations to identify the body. The FSL team has gathered evidence. Strict directives have been issued to the concerned police officers for the successful cracking of the case and the arrest of the criminals."
Completing paper formalities, the police took possession of the body and sent it to the Naugachhia Sub-Divisional Hospital for post-mortem. The exact cause of death (such as asphyxiation or internal injuries) will become clear only after the post-mortem report arrives.
The discovery of this unidentified young man's body near the Baba Vishu Raut Setu approach road in Naugachhia once again raises serious questions about the law-and-order situation in the region. The dumping of bodies by criminals around desolate or strategically important bridges indicates that miscreants remain unfazed by the fear of the law. Meanwhile, local residents' eyes are pinned on the joint operations of the local police and FSL team to see how quickly they unravel the mystery of this blind murder and put the culprits behind bars.
