Missing 18-Year-Old Girl Found Dead in Well in Dighi, Pune
A missing person’s case in Pune’s Dighi area took a devastating turn on Thursday morning when the body of an 18-year-old girl was discovered at the bottom of a 45-foot-deep well in Choviswadi, Charholi.
The deceased, identified as Vaishnavi Ingwale, had been missing since June 25. Her worried family had filed a complaint at the Dighi Police Station after failing to locate her. During the ongoing search operation, a cloth item believed to belong to Vaishnavi was found near a well close to her home. This led authorities to initiate a detailed search of the area.
Upon the discovery, the fire brigade was called to assist. An underwater camera was deployed into the well, revealing Vaishnavi’s lifeless body lying at the bottom. Her body was subsequently recovered and sent for autopsy.
Inspector Bapu Dhere, in charge of the Dighi Police Station, stated that initial findings suggest the incident may be an accident. “So far, there’s no concrete information from the family that indicates otherwise,” he said.
However, police are treating the matter with caution. Investigations are underway to examine all possible aspects of the case, including accidental death, suicide, or the possibility of foul play. Authorities continue their investigation under the jurisdiction of Dighi Police Station, with further details expected following the postmortem report.
