Baby girl found dead in water tank, police suspect murder
Indore: A nine-month-old baby girl was found dead in a water tank located in the courtyard of her house in the Prajapat Nagar area of Dwarkapuri. ACP Shivendu Joshi said that the incident took place on Wednesday morning. The water tank, which is approximately eight feet deep, was covered with a lid, and a water pump was placed on top of it. The discovery of the body came after a desperate half-hour search by family members and neighbours. According to the police, the initial investigation suggests the possibility of murder. While police sources said that suspicion currently revolves around Mayra's mother, Varsha, who her family claimed has been facing mental unstability, ACP Shivendu said that nothing can be said currently. Police received information around 10 am about the infant's death by drowning. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Mayra's lifeless body submerged in the deep tank. The fact that the lid of the tank was closed and weighted down with a pump has further intensified suspicions. During police questioning, Mayra's father, Avinash, who runs a readymade clothing business, said that he went to the bathroom due to stomach pain early in the morning.

Shortly afterward, Varsha began shouting that the baby was missing, prompting the family and neighbours to search the entire house and surrounding area. After about thirty minutes, someone opened the lid of the tank and found the infant's body inside. The incident occurred in the absence of Mayra's grandparents, who left town to attend a family bereavement. Only Mayra, her mother, and her father were present at home during the incident. Avinash confirmed that his wife has been struggling with mental health issues for some time. The police are currently questioning both parents and continuing the investigation to determine how the baby ended up in the water tank.

Farmer in Jalgaon allegedly kills wife over affair suspicion before ending life
Nashik: A farmer from Hatgaon village in Jalgaon's Chalisgaon taluka allegedly killed his wife before taking his own life on Monday at 11.30 am. The Chalisgaon taluka police have filed a murder case under section 103(1) of the BNS. The deceased were identified as Vijay Chavanke (45) and his wife Varsha (40). According to police reports, between 9.30am and 11.25 am, Vijay strangled his wife and subsequently hanged himself in their field. Ashok Chavanke, Vijay's elder brother, who lives separately with his family, reported in his police statement that he had seen the couple collecting water for livestock from the tank near his house around 9.30am on Monday. Later, he got busy with his work. At 11.25 am, Ashok received a telephone call from his younger brother Rajendra, a Nashik resident, informing him about Vijay's call confessing to killing Varsha and expressing intentions of self-harm. Ashok, accompanied by other family members, rushed to the farm where they discovered Vijay hanging from a tree. They found Varsha's body in the cattle fodder with a rope around her neck. Police investigations revealed that Vijay had killed Varsha due to suspicions about her fidelity before ending his life. Ashok told police that Vijay had expressed strong doubts about Varsha's alleged extramarital relationship about a month ago. The complaint also mentioned that Vijay's mental health had deteriorated following an accident two years prior, leading to frequent arguments between the couple. At the time of the incident, the couple's daughter was visiting her uncle in Nashik, while their son was away for college admission procedures.
