Ramakant Pachori, the Station House Officer (SHO) of Sardhana police station, stated, “Sachin had gone missing since Tuesday night, and his mother officially reported his disappearance on Saturday. In her complaint, she expressed suspicions about her husband’s involvement in their son’s missing. Following this lead, the police took both Sanjeev and Amit into custody for questioning. Subsequently, both individuals confessed to their involvement in the crime. Sanjeev alleged that his motivation was to seek retribution against his estranged wife. Currently, both the accused are in police custody.”

A local resident who was informed about the case shared, “Sanjeev had engaged in an affair with his sister-in-law and started living with her, which led to his wife, Munesh, leaving him around 15 years ago. Since then, she has been living separately with her son, Sachin, who was unmarried and the sole earner for the family. Sachin worked as a delivery boy.”
