Overview
- Police found 17-year-old Aditi Moreshwar Chaukhande dead at her Nagpur home around 5.30 a.m. on Wednesday and recovered a handwritten note that said she was not selected.
- Bajaj Nagar police have registered an Accidental Death Report and sent the body for a post-mortem, and officials say the precise cause will be confirmed only after the forensic report and further inquiry.
- Inspector Chetan Chauhan told reporters that preliminary investigation indicates Aditi was distressed over not appearing on the recent Vidarbha Cricket Association selection list, but investigators are probing all angles.
- Aditi had moved from Akola to Nagpur two years ago to train at Surve Cricket Academy and her family invested in her cricketing path while her elder brother reportedly earned selection in a VCA squad.
- The case highlights pressure on young athletes in BCCI‑linked selection pathways and could prompt closer attention to mental‑health support and selection processes for junior cricketers in the region.
