On Tuesday, police in Delhi recovered the body of a 13-year-old boy who had been reported missing from Bhati Mines. Two 16-year-old acquaintances of the victim were detained for allegedly strangling him a day earlier. The victim, a Class 8 student, went missing after leaving home to play with friends. His parents, both daily wage workers, filed a missing persons report, but they claimed police at the Maidangarhi police station delayed their complaint. After the body was found, local residents protested near the Sanjay Colony police post, demanding justice. Police stated that the suspects confessed to the murder during questioning, claiming they had an argument with the victim. The family of the deceased alleged that the boys were under the influence of drugs and called for them to be tried as adults. The body has been handed over to the family after an autopsy.
