NAVI MUMBAI: Police have found the body of a 19-year-old girl who went missing a month ago. The police found the information regarding the whereabouts of the body from the suicide note of her boyfriend Vaibhav, who committed suicide after killing her. The note also stated that Vaibhav killed her after she ended her relationship with him. The murder and subsequent suicide took place in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra.

Vaishnavi, a 19-year-old college student, went missing on December 12, 2023. The girl, who went to college in the morning, did not return. Following this, her mother lodged a complaint with the police. The murder came to light a month later after the police found the suicide note of Vaishnavi's 24-year-old boyfriend Vaibhav.

On December 12 evening, the police recovered Vaibhav's body from the railway tracks. Vaibhav committed suicide by jumping in front of the moving train. However, the police did not get any information about Vaishnavi even then. Following this, a special investigation team started probing Vaibhav's suicide.

Upon checking Vaibhav's mobile phone, the special team found a note saying that Vaishnavi had ended her relationship with him and that he was going to kill her. The police also got a code L01-501 from the phone. Soon, it was identified as the serial number assigned to trees in the Kharghar Hills by the Forest Department.

Upon examining the CCTV footage from Khargar Hill, the police obtained the footage of Vaibhav and Vaishnavi together. The police also found that after strangling Vaishnavi to death, Vaibhav buried her body near the tree with the code number L01-501. The body was in a completely decomposed state. The watch and college identity card found near the body helped the police to confirm that the body belonged to Vaishnavi.
