Silver Oaks student was missing for three days

-

The decomposed body of a 17-year-old girl, who went missing from her home three days ago, was found in the hillocks of Ameenpur on Tuesday. The body was identified as that of Chandini Jain, a resident of Miyapur. She was a Class XII student of Silver Oaks School in Bachupally.

The CCTV footage shows Chandini walking towards the spot with a boy. The owner of the land where the body was found noticed the body and alerted the police.

Her family members identified her with the help of a tattoo on her left wrist. Police recovered a jacket and a debit card from the spot, but say that they could belong to someone also. Cyberabad Commission­er Sandeep Shandilya said 10 teams are working on the case.

Investigat­ing officials surmise that she may have walked to this hilly area along with a friend and sat on the rocks for some time and maybe shared chocolates as chocolate wrappers were found nearby. Police said that an argument may have broken out later that led to violence.

Tracing her movements, police found that she had participat­ed in an interschoo­l event at Central Court Hotel in the city from September 1 to 3. She could have made friends with someone at the event so that angle too is being investigat­ed.

The decomposed body of a 17-year-old girl, who went missing from her home three days ago, was found in the hillocks of Ameenpur on Tuesday. A senior officer told DC that they are on the right track and are collecting more details from the school, her friends and parents.

“Since the girl is a minor and the suspect is also suspected to be a minor, we are investigat­ing carefully. Very soon he will be caught and treated as per the law,” he said. Chandini was the youngest daughter of businessma­n Kishore Jain and Kavitha Jain, residing in Madinaguda.

On Saturday, she was at home and engaged in work with her sister Nivedita. In the evening around 5, she told her sister and mother that she was going out to meet her friends. When she did not return home after a couple of hours, her sister called on her mobile, but it was switched off. When she had not returned by 8.30 pm and her mobile was still switched off, the parents lodged a complaint.
