A startling incident in Dehradun has led to the arrest of a taxi driver after a gruesome discovery of murder and cover-up. The victim, Dingbar Dhiman, was reportedly beaten to death by his friends, who buried his body in Chidiyapur forest, according to local police sources.

The murder came to light following a missing person's report filed by Dhiman's father. The police discovered that Dhiman, accused of raping a minor, was last seen on February 9 after attending a court hearing. He told his father he would return home later, but he never did.
