Bhopal Missing Lawyer Vishal Ramanani Found Dead On Railway Tracks, Body Exhumed After GRP Burial Sparks Negligence Allegations

Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The 29-year-old lawyer, Vishal Ramanani, who had been missing for five days, was discovered on railway tracks near Bhopal railway station two days ago, according to the Government Railway Police (GRP). The body was found before the family was notified of his death. The GRP conducted a post-mortem examination on the body and buried it without the family's identification of the remains.

The family became aware of his death on Saturday, and his body was exhumed in the presence of officials on Sunday. Ramanani, who practiced as a lawyer at the Bhopal District Court and resided in Israni Market area, went missing on October 5. His sister and lawyer, Garima Ramanani, filed a complaint at Hanumanganj police station following his disappearance.

The GRP registered a case after receiving information about his death and initiated further proceedings. However, allegations against the GRP have been raised by Advocate Jagdish Chhawani, who claims that the GRP acted negligently by burying the body without proper identification or waiting for the family's involvement. Yet, the family has not made any allegations so far and has not demanded a second post-mortem examination.

The Hanumanganj police station in-charge, Awadhesh Singh Bhadoria, stated that the statements of the family members had not yet been recorded. The circumstances leading to Ramanani's death and the sequence of events are expected to be clarified as the investigation progresses.
