Police in Karnataka's Mysuru district have launched a detailed investigation after the charred remains of a young man and his motorcycle were discovered near a canal. The Nanjangud Rural police station registered a formal First Information Report (FIR) late on Monday following the grim discovery.
Discovery of the Burnt Body
The victim has been identified as Adithya M, a 23-year-old resident of Rampura village in Nanjangud taluk. According to police officials, the incident came to light late on Monday evening. A local villager stumbled upon the horrifying scene near the Basavanagudi block area of Nanjangud and alerted the authorities.
The scene presented a distressing picture: both Adithya's body and his motorcycle were found in a severely burnt condition. Forensic teams and police personnel swiftly cordoned off the area to begin their preliminary examination and evidence collection process.
Father's Complaint and Last Movements
The investigation gained a crucial lead from the complaint filed by the deceased's father, Madesh Basanna. In his statement to the police, Basanna revealed that his son, Adithya, had left their family home in Rampura village on Monday morning.
Adithya's stated purpose for leaving was to get his motorcycle repaired. When he did not return home by evening and could not be contacted, the family grew anxious. Their fears were tragically confirmed when the villager's information led them to the site near the canal.
Based squarely on the father's formal complaint, the Nanjangud Rural police proceeded to register the FIR. This legal document sets the stage for a full-scale probe into the circumstances leading to Adithya's death.
Ongoing Investigation and Next Steps
Police authorities have confirmed that an active investigation is now in progress. While the primary evidence points to a tragic accident, officers are meticulously exploring all possible angles. The charred state of both the body and the vehicle presents significant challenges for the forensic team.
Key lines of inquiry for the police include:
- Retracing Adithya's exact route and identifying the repair shop he intended to visit.
- Conducting a thorough forensic analysis of the scene and the remains.
- Interviewing friends, acquaintances, and anyone who might have seen Adithya on Monday.
- Determining the precise cause and origin of the fire.
The community in Nanjangud taluk has been shaken by the incident. As the police work to piece together the final hours of the young man's life, the family awaits answers. The case underscores the critical role of prompt police registration and investigation in such unexplained deaths.
