A 15-year-old boy has been detained, and two others arrested for the alleged abduction and murder of his 12-year-old cousin in Jharkhand's Hazaribagh district, a senior police officer said.
According to Hazaribagh Superintendent of Police (SP) Manoj Ratan Chothe, the 12-year-old boy was allegedly kidnapped on March 1 by his teenage brother for ransom.
The two others arrested have been identified as Kartik Yadav (50) and Ashish Kumar (36), he said, adding that the police were still trying to establish their connection with the 15-year-old accused.
The victim's mother filed a missing complaint at Barkatha police station when his son did not return home till late evening on March 1. Two days later, one of the kidnappers called her and demanded a ransom of ₹6,000, the SP said.
“We traced the call and arrested all three. They confessed to killing the boy on the same day he was abducted. His body was then hidden in a cave in Kohuakundhar forest,” the SP said.
