There was shock in Bicholim after an active social worker and his son were found dead at their house in Naiknagar-Borde at Bicholim on Monday evening.

According to available information, the body of social worker, Sanjay Mhapsekar, was found lying on the floor, while the body of his son, Sanchit, was found lying on a cot in the room.
The incident came to light when Sanjay’s daughter returned home from work. She was shocked to see both of them lying motionless. Panicked by the sight, she immediately called her maternal uncle and informed him about the situation. After receiving the call, the uncle rushed to the spot. With the help of local residents, he entered the house and found both father and son dead.
The Bicholim police were later informed about the incident. A 108 ambulance service was also called to the scene. After examining the bodies, the medical staff in the ambulance confirmed that both individuals had already died. Soon after, the police also arrived at the location and began their investigation.
