Bodies of a Talathi and a minor girl were found in a deep valley in Pune’s Junnar. Suspected suicide, but police are probing all angles, including a prior kidnapping complaint.
Pune | June 25, 2025 – A deeply unsettling incident has emerged from Junnar taluka in Pune district, where the bodies of a government official and a minor girl were recovered from a 1,200-foot-deep valley near the Konkan ridge. The deceased have been identified as Ramchandra Sahebrao Pardhi (40), a Talathi posted in Shrigonda, Ahilyanagar, and a minor girl who was reportedly related to him.
The case has left both police and locals shocked and confused, as the exact cause of their deaths remains unclear. Preliminary suspicions point to suicide, but several unanswered questions have kept the investigation wide open.
According to police sources, both Pardhi and the girl had been missing for the past week. Concern grew after villagers in Ambe-Hatveej noticed a car parked near the Konkan ridge for several days. Their suspicions were heightened when a pair of shoes was discovered nearby, prompting a call to local authorities.
A 16-member rescue team from Shiv Janmabhoomi, Junnar, was deployed for the search operation. After a strenuous effort, both bodies were located—the girl’s at around 1,200 feet depth and Ramchandra Pardhi’s at 1,350 feet. The terrain and depth suggest a dangerous fall, likely intentional, though conclusive evidence is yet to be established.
The case took an even more serious turn when it was revealed that the girl’s family had lodged a kidnapping complaint with the Junnar Police on June 15, shortly after she went missing. This raises further concerns about the nature of their relationship and what exactly transpired in the days leading up to their deaths.
Police officials have confirmed that no definitive suicide note has been found, and all angles are being investigated, including the possibility of abetment or foul play.
The incident has cast a shadow over the Junnar region, as residents reel from the tragedy and the disturbing implications it may carry. Authorities have assured that a full post-mortem and forensic investigation will be carried out to determine the exact cause and timeline of death.
For now, many questions remain unanswered, and the community watches closely as investigators try to unravel the truth behind this heartbreaking double death.
