Police in Bhopal are probing the killing and dismemberment of a 17‑year‑old in Shyamla Hills, suspecting links to an Iranian gang and organ‑trafficking network after divers failed to locate the missing body parts.
A 17‑year‑old boy was found dead in Shyamla Hills on the outskirts of Bhopal after his body was mutilated and the genital region was severed before being dumped in a pond. The gruesome nature of the crime prompted immediate involvement of the city’s crime branch.
Investigators have opened a line of inquiry that points to a possible connection with an Iranian‑linked criminal network suspected of organ trafficking. Three separate dives were conducted by professional divers to retrieve the missing body parts, but none were recovered.
The case remains under active investigation, with police urging anyone with information about the gang or the missing organs to come forward. The investigation is being coordinated by the Bhopal police crime branch in conjunction with central agencies.
