Rajesh Nishad, Karan’s father said, “We searched our area but were unable to find him. After that we approached the Vinoba Bhave police station.” Sindhu Rokde, a neighbour said, “We couldn’t succeed in finding him and the police weren’t being supportive either, so we decided to take the help of a political worker and were on our way to approach them. Suddenly, we got a call saying that Karan’s body has been recovered from the godown of a grocery shop.”
The shop opens around 10 am and shuts at 9 pm.

Police inspector Surykant Jagdale of the Vinoba Bhave police station said, “After we got the complaint about the missing child, we immediately registered an FIR against unknown persons under Section 363 (kidnapping) of IPC. He may have died due to a bag falling on him. His father would occasionally help out at the shop and the son visits him there most of the time. His body has been sent for a postmortem at Rajawadi Hospital. We are awaiting the report.”

Manhunt launched
Tilak Nagar police have launched a manhunt for an unknown person in a white shirt, spotted in the CCTV at LTT, dragging the bag in which the body of a 10-year-old child was found on Sunday.
