Two days after a 9-year-old girl went missing in Maharashtra's Thane, her body was found in a water tank near her house.
Police said on 7 April 2023 that the highly-decomposed body was found on 5 April. She had gone to buy eggs from a grocery shop but didn't return.
Her body was discovered after a water tank was checked due to a foul smell.
Police have filed a kidnapping case. They sent the body to a government hospital for a post-mortem examination.
