The Story in Brief
Uttar Pradesh police have recovered the bodies of Ankit and Israr, missing since July 25, from the premises of mahant Naresh Nath in Lachhaura village, Baghpat. The bodies were found buried on Wednesday after police dug up the site based on technical evidence and information from two detained persons, Ujjwal and Krishna Yadav. Nath, the main accused, is absconding. The bodies, badly decomposed, were identified through clothes and belongings. A postmortem is underway. The families say the two friends had gone to speak to Nath about a dispute between his sister and the mahant over an alleged relationship.
The Indian Opinion
Some will rush to paint this as a communal crime given the victims' names, but the police have named the mahant as the main accused and detained two others. The families say a dispute over a relationship, not religion, may have been the motive. The real test will be the postmortem and forensic evidence: did the men die on July 25 or later? That single date will settle whether this was a planned killing or a sudden quarrel.
