With the discovery of 17-year-old Aarti Rithadiya's death by the Crime Branch on Thursday, the Nehru Nagar police, with whom her missing person case had been filed, and the GRP, who discovered her body on the tracks the same day, are now playing the blame game.

Aarti, who went missing on March 30, 2019, was found dead on rail tracks on the same day. Even though it's still not clear whether she committed suicide or died in an accident, a shoddy investigation led to her father, Pancharam Rithadiya killing himself on October 13 last year. Post the incident, the Nehru Nagar cops had found a suicide note in his pocket, which blamed the cops and five other people from his community for Aarti's death.
