VASAI: The body of a 32-year-old man was found buried in his house at Nalasopara (east) Monday evening. His wife is missing, the police said.The cellphone of the man, Vijay Chauhan, had been switched off for almost three weeks which prompted his brothers to visit the chawl where he lived. A set of newly laid floor tiles in one corner of the house, and the whereabouts of the wife, Chaman Devi (28) being not known raised the family’s suspicion, the police said.Curiously, a 20-year-old man from their neighbuorhood has also been missing for a few days, the police said, clarifying that they are not sure if the missing man has anything to do with the case at hand.The brothers of the dead man, who also live in the same locality, had visited his house on July 10. At that time, the wife had informed them that he (the husband) had taken up a work assignment at Kurla.Last Saturday, they visited his house again. Neighbours told them that the sister-in-law had not been seen for at least two days. The brothers then entered the house, to find no one in there.“But they got suspicious on seeing new floor tiles in one corner,” said an officer.
