Gurugram Police missed alert that could have identified Delhi man, cremated body
On September 6, Yuvraj Singh Manchanda, a 31-year-old Adani Realty employee, went missing from Sariya Vihar. His body was recovered from a drain in Gurugram on September 10. Despite the body being uploaded to the interstate police database, ZIPNET, and a Hue and Cry Notice issued within the Gurugram Police, Yuvraj remained unidentified and was cremated on September 14, two days after the alert.
The discrepancy over the cause of death also adds to the confusion, with postmortem results showing asphyxiation due to drowning, while Delhi Police claims he was shot dead. A senior Delhi Police officer questioned why Gurugram Police didn't check ZIPNET, suggesting that identification could have been made, allowing the family to claim his body and perform last rites.
