Traces of the family were finally found in an empty well, 500 feet away from home. Angry villagers informed the police, but refused to let the police do an autopsy, until senior officials arrived.

Sanjay Jadhav, a farmer by profession owned an acre of land. His son Sunil, who works in a milk dairy in Mumbai had come to his village a week ago.
