Police launch investigation after 16‑year‑old’s corpse discovered in West Bengal

Law enforcement agencies in West Bengal began a formal probe on Saturday after a 16‑year‑old girl's body was recovered from an empty dwelling in Purulia. The girl, who was last seen on Friday night, was found with a scarf around her throat, prompting suspicions of foul play. Her brother‑in‑law informed local media that she had been in a romantic relationship with a minor from the area and that she had recently stopped attending his tuition classes. The police have recorded the incident as an unnatural death and have forwarded the body to the district hospital for a post‑mortem examination. As of now, no one has been detained, and the investigation continues based on the family's allegations.
