Another troubling discovery was made near railway tracks in Kalyan, where an unnamed man's partially burnt body, approximately 40 years old, was found. The authorities were making an effort to identify the deceased through examining the missing persons' report in the area. The challenging situation mirrored similar incidents in the region. In one instance, an unnamed man in his mid-thirties was found dead near a river close to Sawande village in Thane district, while in Kongaon, the body of a 40-year-old named Govind Bablu Kamble was discovered in a dumping ground with signs of an attack using a bamboo stick.
Reportedly, the authorities have filed murder cases for these incidents under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code, actively pursuing leads to uncover the truth behind these tragic events.
