A 20/21-year-old NEET aspirant, Nikki Yadav, from Indore goes missing after appearing for the exam in Mhow, and her body is later found in the Narmada River in the Barwaha/Maheshwar area. Police say she was last reported as contacting her father, Ramanand Yadav, around 8 pm from a bus route, stating her mobile battery had died and that she had reached the Bhanwarkuan intersection and would be home shortly. When she did not return, her family filed a missing person complaint at Bhanwarkuan police station. Authorities use technical inputs to track her phone’s last known location to Barwaha rather than Indore, prompting investigations into her route and movements. Villagers near the Narmada bank spot a floating body around 2 pm, which Karhi police recover and identify as Nikki based on her clothes and appearance. Police initially suspect suicide by drowning/jumping from a bridge, but Nikki’s family rejects this and alleges kidnapping and murder, while demanding a high-level, impartial probe. A post-mortem conducted at Maheshwar Community Health Centre indicates drowning as the preliminary cause, with no visible external injuries or signs of foul play; the final report is awaited as investigators review mobile call detail records and CCTV footage.

While police are initially treating it as a case of suicide, Nikki’s family has strongly rejected this theory and demanded a high-level, impartial investigation, alleging kidnapping and murder.Nikki had appeared for her NEET exam in Mhow on Sunday. She had a normal conversation with her software engineer sister Ruby Yadav at 7:52 pm, mentioning she was taking a bus from Bhanwarkuan to return home. Later, she called from an unknown number saying her phone was discharged. The family claims her switched-off mobile suddenly turned on between 10 pm and midnight, raising serious suspicions.Ruby questioned, “My sister was bright, simple and completely focused on her studies. She never used social media and kept no password on her phone. If she wanted to end her life, why would she go to an unknown city like Barwaha?”Father Ramanand Yadav, an accountant, said the educated family, with software engineer daughters and a JEE qualifier son, cannot believe their ambitious daughter, who dreamt of becoming a doctor, would commit suicide.
