The body of a six-year-old boy, who had been missing since 4 pm on Saturday, was found late at night in an artificial water body set up for the purpose of the immersion of idols at Ulhasnagar Camp No. 3. The child, Rajveer Nitin Belekar, lived with his mother and grandmother at Bhaiyasaheb Ambedkar Society in Hira Ghat, Ulhasnagar.

His family, after realising that Rajveen couldn’t be found anywhere, approached the Central police station on Saturday evening and reported the incident. The police immediately launched a search operation. Social activists Shivaji Ragde, Shashikant Dayma and Pappu Behenwal shared the child’s photo on social media and requested citizens to help.
