The hills of Nahargarh in Jaipur are famed not only for their natural beauty but also for trekking and tourism. However, the tale of one brother's death and another's disappearance amidst these hills has morphed into an intricate mystery. Despite relentless efforts over the past nine days, the Jaipur police, along with civil defense, SDRF, NDRF, and other entities, remain baffled. The missing brother's body has been found, but the whereabouts of the other still eludes us. Even the High Court has taken notice of this perplexing case.
The two brothers embarked on their trek into Nahargarh's forest, a journey that would quickly become shrouded in mystery. As hours dragged into noon, separated amid unfamiliar paths, they each made panicked calls home. Lost and alone, panic set in as they struggled to find their way back.
As the day wore on, and the situation grew dire, the boys' distraught family rushed to Shastrinagar police station. Instead of coordinating a swift rescue, they were redirected over jurisdiction boundaries, from Shastrinagar to Brahmpuri, squandering precious daylight.

At 3:30 PM, urgency finally took hold when the DCP was informed. Police teams and a civil defense unit were deployed to search the unfriendly terrain, as night and rain compounded the already grim scenario.

In a bid to maintain contact, desperate calls to the brothers' phones went unanswered, only furthering their family's agony. Meanwhile, police tracked the brothers' last known locations through phone records and initiated collaboration with SDRF and NDRF forces in the search.
The Younger Brother’s Body Found
Tragedy struck as the search unearthed the lifeless body of the younger brother, Ashish. This disappearance turned mystery took an unsettling turn as his body was recovered and sent for post-mortem.
Unraveling the Cause of Death
Ramping up the search, drones and over 200 personnel combed the terrain. Ashish’s demise remains a puzzle—was it murder, or a fatal fall? The post-mortem revealed head injuries, yet the circumstances remain unresolved.
No Trace of the Elder Brother
Roughly nine days into this tragic mystery, Rahul remains missing. Despite recovering Ashish's phone, Rahul's whereabouts and phone remain mysteries. Investigations into call records have provided no further clues.
Relationship Troubles or Foul Play?
Both brothers were employed at a financial firm, and traces lead to a conversation with a female colleague on the day of their vanishing. Investigators grapple with whether their predicament stemmed solely from forestry challenges, or if it was compounded by hidden motives or schemes.
Public Outrage Over Police Conduct
Despite exhaustive searches, Rahul's whereabouts remain unknown. Concerns abound over police handling, especially since Ashish’s body was found far from the trekking route, in treacherous terrain. The delays and redirection have fueled public discontent and speculation on what might have been a preventable outcome.
