In a grim development in Outer Delhi, the body of a man, identified as Pradeep, was found in an open field in the Mungeshpur area of Bawana on Tuesday, two days after he was reported missing. The deceased was known as a history-sheeter and bad character at the Bawana police station, adding a layer of complexity to the investigation.
Discovery and Identification of the Deceased
According to police officials, information about an unidentified, decomposed body was received at the Bawana police station. The body was later identified by Pradeep's brother, confirming the identity of the victim. The discovery has sent shockwaves through the local community, prompting immediate police action.
Timeline of Events Leading to the Tragedy
Pradeep reportedly went to a local liquor shop with three associates around 2 pm on Sunday. The group purchased alcohol and then proceeded to the Mungeshpur area. Later that evening, around 10 pm, Pradeep contacted his wife, sharing his location near the Sohti-Kutubgarh road. He informed her that his scooter had a puncture, which was the last known communication from him.
Concerned by his disappearance, his wife approached the Dariyapur police post on Tuesday and lodged a formal missing person report. This report triggered the police investigation that ultimately led to the discovery of his body in the open field.

A senior police officer stated that a case has been registered under Section 103 (murder) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Police teams have been dispatched to trace and apprehend the accused individuals involved in this alleged murder. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities focusing on the circumstances surrounding Pradeep's last known movements and his associates.
The case highlights ongoing concerns about crime and safety in the Bawana region, with police urging the public to come forward with any relevant information. The discovery of the body in a decomposed state suggests foul play, and forensic teams are likely to be involved to gather evidence.
