30-Year-Old Kherlav Youth Found Dead in Mango Orchard; Why Did Yogesh Nayka Commit Suicide After Leaving Home at Midnight?

The Kherlav Village Mystery: A Family in Mourning as an Unemployed Youth Ends His Life After a Two-Day Disappearance in Pardi Taluka

A cloud of gloom has descended over Kherlav village in Pardi Taluka following the discovery of the lifeless body of a 30-year-old local youth. What began as a mysterious disappearance in the dead of night ended in a tragic recovery on Friday evening, leaving the community in shock. The case of the Kherlav village youth, identified as Yogesh Chhana Nayka, has raised several questions about mental health and the silent struggles of the unemployed in the region as we navigate early 2026.

The Midnight Disappearance: Searching for the Kherlav Village Youth

The chain of events leading to this tragedy began on the night of January 8, 2026. Living with his elderly mother in Kherlav village, Yogesh appeared to be in his usual state before things took a dark turn.

• The Sudden Exit: At approximately 11:00 PM, without uttering a single word to his family, the Kherlav village youth stepped out of his house and vanished into the darkness.
• The Frantic Search: When Yogesh failed to return by the following morning, his worried relatives launched a massive search operation across Kherlav village and neighboring areas. They contacted every possible friend and relative, but no one had seen the Kherlav village youth.
• The Grim Discovery: After nearly 48 hours of searching, the search ended in horror. On Friday evening, Yogesh’s body was found hanging from a tree in a mango orchard belonging to a local resident named Vijaybhai.

Investigating the Motive: Unemployment and Mental Health in Kherlav Village

While the Pardi Police have registered a case of accidental death, the investigation into the Kherlav village youth is focusing on his personal life and state of mind leading up to the incident.

• Economic Struggles: Preliminary reports suggest that the Kherlav village youth did not have a steady job. The burden of unemployment in a rapidly developing district like Valsad often takes a heavy toll on the youth.
• Mental Health Concerns: Sources close to the family indicated that Yogesh had been exhibiting signs of mental instability and emotional distress over the past few months. Whether this “instability” was the sole reason for his suicide is a key part of the police inquiry.
• Social Pressure: The police are also looking into whether the Kherlav village youth was facing any specific social or financial pressure that forced him to leave his home in the middle of the night.

Police Action and Community Response in Kherlav Village

Upon receiving information about the body, a team from the Pardi Police Station rushed to the spot in Kherlav village. They performed a preliminary post-mortem on-site (Panchnama) before shifting the body to the civil hospital for a detailed medical examination.

The sudden death of the Kherlav village youth has caused a stir in the locality. Neighbors describe Yogesh as a quiet individual who kept to himself. The fact that he chose to leave at midnight and end his life in a secluded orchard has left many wondering if he was trying to hide his pain from his mother until the very end.

A Growing Concern: The Need for Support Systems

The tragedy of the Kherlav village youth highlights a growing need for mental health support and vocational guidance in rural Pardi. As the community of Kherlav village gathers to support the grieving mother, local leaders are calling for more awareness regarding depression and the “silent” signs of suicidal ideation.
