95-year-old woman's body found in underground tank in Vadodara
Vadodara: The body of a 95-year-old woman, Ujam Parmar, was discovered in the underground water tank of her residence in the Tarsali area on Wednesday morning, nearly 10 days after she had gone missing.
Police believe Parmar accidentally fell into the tank on December 21 and drowned. Her family had filed a missing person's complaint on December 22 but had no leads despite extensive inquiries and CCTV footage reviews.
The tragic discovery was made after the family noticed a foul smell in their tap water and called for the tank to be cleaned. Inspector Vivek Patel of the special operations group confirmed that the postmortem report indicated drowning as the cause of death, ruling out any foul play.
Parmar, a resident of Navjivan Society, lived with her daughter, a government school teacher. Her two sons and daughter had been actively searching for her since her disappearance.
