Body of 19 Year Old Pardi Youth Recovered from Par River After Going Missing on New Years Eve
The town of Pardi was gripped by sadness on Thursday morning following the recovery of the body of a 19 year old youth from the waters of the Par River. The deceased has been identified as Anuj Vinodbhai Mairale, a resident of Parvati Apartment in the Hariyawad area of Pardi. Originally hailing from the Atul region, the young man had recently been staying with his family in Pardi. His sudden and untimely death has sent shockwaves through the local community and left his family in a state of profound grief. The discovery of the body marks a tragic end to a frantic search operation that began when the teenager failed to return home after heading out on his scooter earlier in the week.
The sequence of events leading up to this tragedy began on the evening of December 31. Anuj left his residence on his moped, telling his family that he was going out for a ride. As the night progressed and the celebrations of the New Year began, his family grew increasingly worried when he did not return at the expected hour. Their concern turned into panic when they attempted to reach him via his mobile phone, only to find that the device had been switched off. Recognizing that something was wrong, his father, Vinodbhai, who works at a paper mill in Vapi, initiated a search along with other family members and friends throughout the night.
The breakthrough in the search occurred when the family located Anuj’s moped parked and abandoned on the banks of the Par River, specifically within the limits of Chandrapur village. The discovery of the vehicle near the deep waters of the river raised immediate fears of a potential drowning. Due to the pitch darkness of the night, a full scale rescue operation could not be launched immediately. However, as soon as day broke on Thursday, the Pardi police were informed, and a professional search team was mobilized. Local divers from the Chandrapur Life Savers group were called in to assist with the operation, scouring the depths of the river near where the moped was found.
After several hours of intensive searching, the divers recovered Anuj’s body from the river bed. The sight of the young man being brought to the shore led to heart wrenching scenes as family members who had gathered at the spot identified him. Anuj was just 19 years old, standing at the threshold of his adult life, making the loss even more unbearable for his parents and his elder sister. The Mairale family, which consists of his father Vinodbhai, his mother, and his sister, is now struggling to come to terms with the vacuum left by his departure. Neighbors and relatives described Anuj as a quiet youth, and his sudden disappearance has left everyone searching for answers.
The Pardi police reached the spot shortly after the body was recovered to conduct the initial panchnama. The body was subsequently shifted to the Pardi Community Health Center for a mandatory post mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death. While the primary evidence suggests that the youth might have taken this extreme step due to unknown personal reasons, the police are not ruling out any possibilities at this stage of the investigation. The authorities are currently examining the call records of the deceased and speaking to his close friends to understand his state of mind in the days leading up to New Year’s Eve.
This incident has once again brought to light the issue of mental health among the youth and the need for parental vigilance. The police have registered a case of accidental death for the time being as they wait for the medical reports. The local community in Hariyawad and the surrounding areas of Pardi have expressed their deepest condolences to the bereaved family. The loss of a young life in such a mysterious and tragic manner has cast a shadow over the New Year festivities for many in the neighborhood. As the investigation continues, the police are urging the public not to spread rumors and to allow the family space to mourn their devastating loss.
The final rites of the youth are expected to be performed after the legal procedures at the Community Health Center are completed. For now, the focus remains on the Pardi police investigation, which aims to uncover the circumstances that led a 19 year old with a promising future to the banks of the Par River on a cold December night. The recovery of the moped and the subsequent search operation highlight the prompt response of the local life savers and the police, even though the outcome was not the one everyone had hoped for. The tragedy serves as a somber reminder of the fragility of life and the deep impact such events have on small, close knit communities.
