The deceased, identified as Dipali Tanpure, was among 22 families from Karanji (Jintur taluka) who had come to Nidona for ginger harvesting and were staying near a warehouse. On Sunday around 9 a.m., Dipali followed her routine bathed and told her family she was going to the toilet but was later found hanging from an iron angle near a water tank. A villager noticed the body and alerted her family, after which Vadod Bazar police were informed. Police sub inspectorSachin Kshirsagar rushed to the spot and conducted a panchnama. Dipali’s body was handed over to relatives and taken to Karanji for the last rites. Police said the exact reason behind the incident is still unclear.
