The body of a techie with injury marks was found along the Pune-Nashik highway, officials said on Monday. The police have filed a case under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) against unknown persons, officials said.
According to the police, the decomposed body of a 23-year-old was recovered from the forest area of Sandhbhorwadi on the Pune-Nashik highway on Saturday.
The deceased was later identified as Sourabh Nandlal Patil, a resident of Shirdi in Ahmednagar district and working with a private company involved in structural engineering located at Rajiv Gandhi IT Park Hinjewadi.
Patil had joined the firm around one and a half months ago, but was unhappy with the work as his job profile was different than his educational qualification. He later resigned from the job and began serving the notice period.
On July 28, after finishing his work, Patil left for his hometown Shirdi. When Patil did not reach home, his father asked the former’s friends about his son’s whereabouts. Consequently, a missing complaint was filed at the Hinjewadi police station on July 29.
Investigation officer Ritesh Koli said, “After the missing complaint was registered, we initiated a search operation and found his last location on the Pune-Nashik highway. We first recovered Patil’s motorcycle and, two days later, found his body with injury marks.”
According to Vivek Muglikar, senior inspector, Hinjewadi police station, Patil resigned from the private company due to personal reasons.
Birudev Kabugade, assistant inspector, Khed police station, said, “The body was totally decomposed. Autopsy report showed injury marks on neck and other parts of the body. We registered a murder case on Sunday against unknown persons.”
