Elderly Woman Found Dead in Well; Shravasti SP Orders Swift Investigation

An elderly woman was found dead inside a well in Shravasti’s Sonwa area, prompting swift action from the district’s Superintendent of Police. A special team has been deployed to investigate whether the death was accidental or involved foul play. The body has been sent for post-mortem and the probe is underway.

An atmosphere of alarm swept through Uttar Pradesh’s Shravasti district on Saturday after residents of the Sonwa police-station area discovered the body of an elderly woman floating inside a local well. Police teams reached the site soon after receiving a call from villagers and relayed the details to senior officials for immediate review.

Taking prompt notice of the report, the Superintendent of Police directed an investigative team to the location and instructed officers to examine all possible angles behind the woman’s death. Authorities are now working to determine whether the incident was a tragic accident or the result of foul play, with investigators collecting evidence and speaking to locals as part of the inquiry.

The body has been sent for post-mortem examination, which officials say will play a critical role in establishing the cause and circumstances of death. Police have assured that once the findings are complete, appropriate action will be taken in accordance with the law.

Saturday’s discovery has left the community unsettled, underscoring the urgency of a thorough investigation. As authorities work to unravel what happened, the case has highlighted once again the importance of swift police response and transparent inquiry in incidents of unexplained deaths.
