Bilaspur teen murders minor friend over mobile gaming dispute
Raipur: A frantic 15-day search for a missing teenager in Bilaspur district of Chhattisgarh ended in a chilling revelation that the 13-year-old boy was brutally murdered by his friend over a dispute concerning a mobile phone used for online gaming. The deceased, Chinmay Suryavanshi, a Class 8 student from Bharari village, went missing on the evening of July 31. The search concluded tragically on Friday when residents reported a foul stench near the village's old, abandoned school building, leading to the recovery of Chinmay's decomposed body inside a classroom. Investigators found Chinmay's body inside a locked classroom. Police responded swiftly with forensic experts and a dog squad. "The body was in a highly decomposed state. We have sent it for postmortem examination," said Naresh Chouhan, investigating officer of Ratanpur police station. According to Chinmay's parents, he left home around 4:30 pm but did not return. Over the past two weeks, his parents and relatives conducted an extensive search, visiting neighbours, consulting relatives, and lodging a missing person report. Desperate, they printed pamphlets featuring Chinmay's photo and offered a Rs one lakh cash reward for information leading to his safe return. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo His father, Ajay Suryavanshi, stated that they had feared foul play from the outset. "We suspected someone had lured him away. We felt completely helpless after routine follow-up with police and getting no lead," he told reporters. Police reported that the investigation took a shocking turn after detaining Chhatrapal Suryavanshi, 19, a close acquaintance from the same village.

Crimes against women: ‘Lover', cousin kill woman, son & dump bodies in 2 wells; held
Raipur: After the bodies of a woman and her minor son were found in separate but closeby wells in a village in Durg, cops arrested a man and his cousin for a plan to murder the woman he had promised to marry after being introduced on a social media platform. Durg additional SP Sukhnandan Rathore, briefing the press, said that the entire incident is rooted in a failed love affair. The accused, Chhatrapal Singour, 26, along with his cousin Shubham Kumar Singour, 22, strangled the woman and her son to death and disposed of their bodies separately in two wells. A sense of alarm was instilled in the village on Sunday after villagers discovered the bodies floating one after another as foul smell emanating from the wells, following which cops were informed. The identity of the woman-son duo couldn't be identified initially as no one in the vicinity were familiar to them. An SIT was constituted under the SP to investigate. Police received a tip-off that the woman was seen frequently meeting with one Chhatrapal Singour, and he was picked for interrogation. Initially, Chhatrapal gave vague and misleading answers but later revealed that the deceased, Sunita Chaturvedi alias Pallavi, 34, was introduced to him through Instagram. Sunita told him that her husband had passed away and that she lived in Raipur with her parents and her 8-year-old son. Chhatrapal reportedly promised to marry her and take care of her child. The duo continued with the relationship until the woman started demanding accountability and marriage. The accused had no intention to marry her and he repeatedly avoided her pleadings. Instead, he secretly married another woman one and half months back. On June 18, 2025, Chhatrapal informed Shubham about Sunita's repeated visits with her child and he was adamant to remove this 'obstacle' from his married life. Chhatrapal brought Sunita and her son from Raipur to his village Khamhariya on his electric scooter with an excuse to meet at an isolated place. Minutes after, Shubham joined them and the two strangled Sunita and her son in a field, cops said. To destroy evidence, they wrapped the bodies separately in sarees, placed them in sacks weighted down with stones, and dumped them in the wells. The victims were reported missing under an FIR at Civil Lines police station in Raipur. Sunita's kin identified the bodies, which were recovered 30 kms away from their home.
