Seventeen-year-old Nayan disappeared on December 22, 2025, in Saumya Vihar Colony, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. Her body was recovered near railway tracks the same night but was cremated as unidentified three days later. Nayan's mother, Geeta Kumari, searched for her daughter for 99 days, only to discover through the Allahabad High Court's intervention that her body had been found shortly after her disappearance. Geeta alleges police negligence, claiming they failed to connect the missing person report with the unidentified body, which was cremated before they could identify it. Geeta suspects foul play, stating that the prime suspect named in the FIR has gone missing. Advocates representing the family are pressing for a thorough investigation, questioning how the body was cremated without adequate public notice, as per Supreme Court guidelines for handling unidentified bodies. Police officials have acknowledged the procedural failures but maintain that they followed due process.
