Worried about missing father, children in US track his iPhone, lead cops to body

Police in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad are investigating the murder of a 65-year-old man after his children in the United States tracked his iPhone, leading to the discovery of his body with his head bashed in.
Deepak Patel, a land broker from the Bopal area of Ahmedabad, left his home on Thursday afternoon, informing his wife that he would return within a few hours. When he failed to return by night and could not be reached by phone, his wife contacted their children in the US.
Concerned about their father’s safety, the children used the iPhone’s tracking feature to find out his last known location.
Following this lead, relatives discovered Patel’s lifeless body near Garodia village on Friday morning, with severe head injuries. Blood stains painted the surroundings.
Bopal police station inspector BT Gohil said that a murder case has been lodged and further investigation is underway. Authorities are questioning potential suspects and seeking assistance from forensic experts.
Police believe Patel was bludgeoned to death, but the motive for the murder remains unclear. Investigators are exploring various possibilities, including land deals that may have gone awry.
