MALDA: The body of a mentally
disabled youth was found in a drain here on Thursday morning.
Amol Pramanik (31) had been missing from his
Sahapur home since Monday.
Elder brother Bimal Pramanik said: “Amol always stayed home because he needs extra care. A few days ago, he accidentally broke his hand, which called for a surgery. On Monday, he somehow left home without us noticing it.”
Apart from lodging a missing diary with police, the family had made public announcements across English Bazaar and asked around with Amol’s photograph in hand.
But, he had not been found until sweepers spotted a body floating in a high drain at Krishnapally. Later, family members identified it as Amol’s.
