Revenue officer found dead days after he goes missing in Maharashtra
The deceased had gone missing since the morning of August 28, when he left home around 8.45 am, stating he was attending a post-funeral ritual.
A revenue officer named Arun Shelar, 56, was found dead in Maharashtra, India just four days after he went missing. The Mandal Officer, who headed the vigilance team at the district collectorate, was discovered hanging inside a metal shed near his home.
Shelar disappeared on the morning of August 28, claiming he was attending a post-funeral ritual. However, his absence was noticed after he failed to return, prompting his family to launch a search. Concerned relatives subsequently filed a missing person report with the Shahapur police station.
Upon finding Shelar's body around 6.30 am on Thursday morning, his brother immediately took him to a nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead upon arrival. Local police found a note addressed to Shelar's wife during their preliminary search. The note reportedly stated that no one should be held responsible for his death.
Police have registered the case as accidental death and have sent Shelar's body for a postmortem examination at a government hospital.
