The body of a missing Class 11 student from Gurugram was found in a pond on February 14, three days after she disappeared. Authorities located her after finding a suicide note in her diary that provided directions to the site.
In a heartbreaking incident from Gurugram’s Mokalwas village, the body of a missing Class-11 student was recovered on February 14 from a pond near the local crematorium after she allegedly died by suicide, police said.
The teenager, identified as a student of Maitri School, was last seen leaving her home late on the night of February 11 wearing her school uniform. When she did not return by morning, her family informed the police and a missing person case was registered. CCTV footage from nearby locations showed her walking away from her house, prompting a widespread search operation.
During a search of her room on Friday, authorities found a handwritten diary containing a suicide note in which she asked her parents for forgiveness and provided directions to a pond near the cremation ground, telling them not to look for her elsewhere. Following that information, police and family members reached the site and initiated efforts to locate her body. It took several hours to pump out water from the roughly 15-foot-deep pond. Eventually, her body was found stuck in the mud and handed over to her family after post-mortem procedures.
