The mutilated body of Anoop Sen, missing from Rewa since May 18, was recovered from a jungle in Uttar Pradesh’s Karwi. Family members blocked roads demanding immediate arrests in the suspected murder case. Police have launched a joint investigation.

According to police and family sources, Anoop Sen's badly mutilated body was discovered in the dense forest under Raipura police station limits in Karwi. The condition of the remains suggested foul play, leading to immediate suspicions of murder.

Local residents and relatives gathered in large numbers, expressing outrage over the delay in action against those they suspect. Traffic came to a halt for several hours as protesters refused to clear the road until their demands were met.

Disappearance and Initial Search

Anoop Sen left his home on the morning of May 18, informing his family that he was heading to Baikunthpur along with his friend Yashwant Chaturvedi. That was the last time his family heard from him. Soon after, his mobile phone was switched off, and all attempts to contact him failed.

Worried family members lodged a missing person complaint at Rewa Kotwali police station the same day. As days passed without any trace, the family grew increasingly anxious.

Mobile Location Provides Crucial Lead

During the investigation, police traced Anoop’s last mobile location to the vicinity of Rajapur village near Karwi in Uttar Pradesh. Rewa police then coordinated with their counterparts in Karwi. A search operation was launched in the forested area, where the body was eventually recovered.

Identification proved challenging due to the severe condition of the body. However, family members confirmed it was Anoop based on the clothes and shoes he was wearing when he left home. Police have collected DNA samples for further verification.

Family Points Fingers at Accused

Anoop Sen worked as a security guard with a company called KSS. His family has directly accused three individuals — Yashwant Chaturvedi, Vivek Tiwari, and Vandana Tiwari — of involvement in his murder. They claim police had prior suspicion on the trio but failed to act swiftly.

“Anup had gone with Yashwant. We had informed the police about our doubts earlier, but no one took it seriously,” a family member said during the protest.

Protesters Demand Justice

By late Tuesday evening, angry relatives and locals blocked the road in Rewa, raising slogans and demanding immediate arrest of the accused and a fair probe. The chakkajam caused significant traffic disruption in the area. Senior police officers reached the spot and persuaded the protesters to disperse after assuring them of strict action.

The incident has sent shockwaves through the quiet Mohalla, with many residents expressing concern over rising cases of missing persons and delayed police response in the district.

Joint Investigation Underway

Rewa and Karwi police are now working together on the case. Officials said all angles are being examined, including the allegations made by the family. Interrogation of the named suspects is expected to begin soon.

“We are investigating every lead. The postmortem and forensic reports will be crucial in determining the exact cause and time of death,” a police officer familiar with the matter said.

The family has appealed for a speedy and transparent investigation, fearing that delays could lead to evidence tampering. They have also demanded that the case be transferred to a specialized unit if needed.

Background and Public Concern

This is not the first time a youth from Rewa has gone missing under mysterious circumstances, though the gruesome nature of this recovery has particularly disturbed locals. Many parents in the area now worry about the safety of their children, especially those working in private security jobs that often involve travel.

As the investigation progresses, the district administration is keeping a close watch on the situation to prevent any further law and order issues. The coming days are likely to see more developments as forensic results come in and questioning of potential witnesses begins.

The family of Anoop Sen continues to wait for answers, hoping that the road blockade and public pressure will ensure justice is delivered without delay.
