Mystery in Rajasthan: Man Found in Drum as Family Disappears

A chilling discovery was made in Khairthal-Tijara district of Rajasthan when a man's body was found stuffed in a drum on a rooftop, prompting a police investigation. The man, identified as Hansram alias Suraj, hailed from Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh but resided in Kishangarhbas with his family.

The body, which bore a throat injury from a sharp weapon, was discovered after neighbors reported a foul odor. Police Deputy Superintendent Rajendra Singh Nirwan stated that salt had been applied to the body to hasten decomposition.

Hansram lived in a rented room and worked at a brick kiln. As suspicions rise, his wife Sunita, their three children, and the landlord's son Jitendra remain untraceable. Known for drinking with Jitendra, Hansram's disappearance alongside these individuals raises questions. Police have registered a case and are actively searching for the missing persons.
