New Delhi: A 15-year-old boy was abducted by four men and strangled to death after his mother ended her relationship with one of the four, who is a married man. The incident took place in Nihal Vihar area of Delhi where the abductors called the boy on some pretext and later killed him before dumping the body. Police have managed to arrest two of the men while two others, including the mastermind Pradeep Singh, are absconding, reported The Indian Express.
According to the report, police have arrested Ankit Prajapati and Kapil Singh (younger brother of Pradip Singh) who has informed the police about the motive behind the murder of the teenage boy. Pradeep is already married and was in a relationship with the mother of the slain boy. While Pradeep’s family had raised objections to the extramarital affair, the boy’s mother pressured him to get divorced so that they could get married. However, he insisted on being with her without divorcing his wife. This led the women to call off the relationship.
The woman went on to marry another man three month ago, soon after which Pradeep plotted his revenge. The report says, Pradeep called the boy on some pretext and took him in a car along with the three other men. On December 22, the mother received a ransom call demanding Rs 50 lakh for her son’s release. As she went to the police, the call was traced to Faridabad where the police found the boy’s body. Upon examination, it was found that the boy was strangled hours after the kidnapping. Police traced the phone to Chhattarpur but couldn’t locate Pradeep while his brother and another man present during the murder were nabbed.
