The circumstances surrounding the incident have raised serious questions about the cause of death. Authorities have launched a full investigation to determine whether it was an accident, suicide, or foul play.
Abhishek Varun, who was employed as an ICICI Lombard branch manager in Patna, was a resident of Kankarbagh and went missing since Sunday night.
Abhishek had called his wife
Abhishek had gone to a party with his wife. After the party, his wife returned home, but Abhishek said that he would come later. There was no trace of him since then.
According to Abhishek's brother, Abhishek called his wife at around 2:45 in the night and told her that he had met with an accident, but soon after that, his mobile was switched off, which increased the concern of the family. When he did not return the whole night, his wife lodged a complaint in the Kankarbagh police station in the morning.
Last location found in the Beur area
During the investigation, the last location of Abhishek's mobile was found in the Beur police station area, which is a deserted area and about four kilometers away from the last place where he was seen.
After the FIR was registered at the Kankarbagh police station and the police immediately started an investigation. CCTV footage was being scanned and all the police stations were alerted. Following this, Abhishek's body was found in a well in the Beur area this morning.
The body has been sent for post-mortem. The police is now investigating the matter thoroughly, whether it is an accident, suicid,e or there is some other mystery hidden behind it.
