B’luru police arrest two accused in teen boy’s kidnap-murder case
In a major breakthrough, the Bengaluru police have arrested two men for allegedly kidnapping and murdering a 13-year-old boy after demanding a ransom of ₹5 lakh. The gruesome crime took a shocking turn when the burnt body of the teenager was found near Bilwaradahalli, a village on the outskirts of the city.
According to the police, the accused, who have been identified as 28-year-old Suresh and 25-year-old Pradeep, were known to the family of the victim. Suresh was a acquaintance of the boy’s family, which made it even more disturbing for the family to learn that he was involved in the heinous crime.
The police investigation began when the family of the victim reported that their son was missing. The police launched a massive search operation and discovered the burnt body of the teenager near Bilwaradahalli. The body was so badly charred that it took forensic experts to identify the victim.
The police investigation revealed that the accused had demanded a ransom of ₹5 lakh from the family in exchange for the safe return of the boy. When the family failed to pay the ransom, the accused took extreme measures and murdered the boy.
The police, however, did not give up and continued to follow leads and gather evidence. Their efforts paid off when they finally tracked down the accused to a forest area near Bilwaradahalli. In a dramatic turn of events, the accused attacked the police officers who had arrived to apprehend them.
The police officers were left with no choice but to open fire and shoot the accused in the legs to neutralize the threat. Despite their injuries, the accused were taken into custody and are currently undergoing treatment at a local hospital.
The police have registered a separate FIR against the accused under various sections of the Indian Penal Code, including kidnapping, murder, and attempt to murder. They have also registered a case under the Arms Act for the illegal possession of firearms.
The police have lauded the efforts of their team, saying that the “hard work and dedication” of the officers led to the successful arrest of the accused. The police have also expressed their condolences to the family of the victim and have assured them of justice.
The incident has sent shockwaves across the city, with many people expressing outrage and disgust at the brutal murder of the young boy. The police have vowed to ensure that the accused face the full extent of the law and that justice is served to the family of the victim.
As the police continue to investigate the case, the people of Bengaluru are left to wonder how such a heinous crime could have taken place in their city. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for increased vigilance and awareness to prevent such crimes from happening in the future.
The news of the arrest of the accused has been welcomed by the people of Bengaluru, who are relieved that the perpetrators of the crime have been brought to book. The police have once again demonstrated their commitment to ensuring the safety and security of the people of the city.
