A 25-year-old woman's body was found in a water tanker in Pune's Phursungi area. Police are investigating whether it was suicide or murder. The deceased, Kaushalya Mukesh Chavan, had been reported missing days earlier and may have had mental health issues.
One of the most heinous crimes that took place in the Phursungi region of Pune involved the brutal death of a 25-year-old woman in a water tanker on June 20, 2024. The deceased has been identified as Kaushalya Mukesh Chavan and she had been missing for the past few days until her body was recovered.
The body was found later when the tanker was spraying water near the Phursungi power station. The locals who had gone to draw water within the region also noted that the flow had ceased suddenly. The tanker driver went further probing and discovered that the outlet was blocked by a piece of sari. He was quite surprised when he opened the tanker lid to see Chavan lifeless on the floor.
The Sub-inspector Mansingh Patil stated that there were no signs of injuries on the body that could be observed by the naked eyes. The cause of death shall be established after the postmortem examination has been conducted on the body. This has led to debate on whether Chavan committed suicide or was murdered and till date the authorities are in the process of trying to establish the cause of death.
They accuse Chavan of being last seen in the morning of the incident near a building where the tanker driver resides in. It was also parked near the area and the tanker. The authorities are working to determine whether the woman entered the tanker herself willingly, or if it was intentional.
Chavan who hails from Uttar Pradesh had shifted to Pune just a month ago with her flooring installer husband and their two children. They have been residing in Dugad Chawl, opposite to JSPM College, Handewadi. Some of the police sources suggest that Chavan might have been a mentally ill person who used to seek medical attention from local doctors and even a village priest in the past.
During the course of the investigation, the occasion has been described as being one that came as a shock to the members of the local community. The police appeal to the public and request to share any information concerning the case and contribute to the investigation.
