Srinidhi death case

The body of the child was found in a drain on Saturday morning close by the place where she was playing. However, there has now arisen a suspicion about the cause of her death as the under construction drain near which she was playing is not connected to the drain where her body was found.

Local corporator Asha D’Silva too has visited the spot and the body has been shifted to Wenlock Hospital for a post-mortem.

Investigations are underway.
