Panchkula, January 20

The Panchkula police have failed to get any clue about an advocate’s wife who had gone missing on January 16 from Sector 19 here.

The police today got information that the body of the missing woman, Rajni Bala, alias Neetu, was found in the dumping ground in Sector 25. A police team, along with a forensic team, reached the spot and started digging at the site. Surprisingly, after digging around three feet, the police found the carcass of a dog.

The police have lodged a case on the complaint of advocate Manmohan Singh.

Panchkula DCP Manbir Singh said they got information about the body of the missing woman, but after digging at the site, the carcass of a dog was recovered. The police have found a footwear of the missing woman, which was identified by her husband. They are working on all possible angles and it would be premature to say anything at this stage.

Husband lodges complaint

Rajni’s husband advocate Manmohan Singh had lodged a complaint with the police. In the complaint, he had stated that on January 16, he had left for court and at that time his wife was at home. When the children returned home from school in the afternoon, they informed him about their missing mother. Later, he, along with other relatives, started searching for Rajni. They even looked for her at hospitals, but to no avail.
