Missing Nagpur Teen Found Dead on Railway Tracks
A 14-year-old boy named Mohammad Nihal Shafi Sheikh lived in a town called Nagpur in India.
He stopped going to school and had not attended classes for six days.
One day at lunch, his mother asked him why he was not going to school.
He did not answer her, finished his meal, and left the house.
He never came home, so his family went out searching for him.
The next afternoon, his body was found near the railway tracks where trains travel.
The police took his body to a hospital for doctors to examine it.
Right now, the police are trying to figure out how the boy died.
They want to know if it was an accident, if he hurt himself on purpose, or if something else happened.
The boy's family is very sad and shocked about losing him.
Mohammad Nihal Shafi Sheikh, 14, of Shaheed Nagar, Ranala, was found dead on the Nagpur-Howrah railway track after being missing for a day.
The teenager had not attended school for the last six days before his disappearance.
On Tuesday, after his mother questioned him during lunch, he left home without answering and did not return.
His body was found on Wednesday afternoon near Paradise Lawn in Ranala along the Nagpur-Howrah down railway track.
Police registered an accidental death report and are probing whether the death was suicide, an accident, or another cause; his body was sent to Kamthi Sub-District Hospital for post-mortem.
