In a shocking incident, a 13-year-old boy has been detained for allegedly stoning his 11-year-old friend to death in Hamirpur district.
The killing took place just over a dispute over Rs 60. The victim's body was found in 11 pieces on Friday after wild animals lacerated it.
According to sources, the accused boy confessed to the crime which took place near the Kanshi Ram Colony in Sumerpur town.
The police reportedly received a tip-off about the boy's involvement in the crime after which a team of investigators, led by the Inspector in-charge of Sumerpur police station, Virendra Pratap Singh, interrogated the 13-year-old.
