Two minor boys were arrested on Saturday for their alleged involvement in the abduction and murder of a minor boy in Sundargarh district. The local police also seized a firearm from their possession.
The deceased was the son of a businessman, Mohanlal Dhanania, and was missing since November 15. His parents had lodged a ‘missing’ complaint with the police. However, the boy’s body was recovered by the Kansabahal police from the Ramlata forest on November 20. The family members of the missing boy identified the body and informed this to the Rajgangpur police.
Police are interrogating the minors to find the motive of the crime and possible involvement of others in it.
