Bhopal businessman's body found in uncle's field; relatives questioned in death probe

In the quiet routines of an ordinary morning, a forty-year-old businessman stepped out for something as small as chewing tobacco and never returned. Thirteen days later, Devendra Mehra was found in a water-filled pit on land belonging to his own kin, his body decomposed, his final phone calls pointing toward the very relatives who denied knowing anything. In Bhopal, as elsewhere, the most painful betrayals often wear a familiar face, and the search for truth now falls to phone records, police interrogations, and a grieving family unwilling to let silence become the final word.
