Pune, Maharashtra (June 26, 2025): The body of an 18-year-old girl was found at the bottom of a 45-foot-deep well in Dighi after police traced a scarf discovered near the edge of the well. The deceased has been identified as Vaishnavi Ingwale. Dighi Police have begun investigating whether the case is a murder or a suicide.
According to officials, Vaishnavi had recently gone missing and her father had lodged a missing person complaint at Dighi Police Station. During the search operation, police found a scarf near a well located close to the area where she was last seen.
