The two-year-old child was playing outside his home in the Anand Parbat area, New Delhi, on Saturday evening when he was abducted and brutally attacked on his face with some heavy object. His body was scarred with cigarette burns and his skin had teeth marks. He was murdered subsequently, and his corpse was wrapped in clothes and dumped in a toilet 100 meters away from his home.
On Sunday morning, when the body of the child was found, angry relatives accompanied by locals blocked New Rohtak Road and protested, causing a ruckus. On getting the information, police immediately reached the spot. The jam remained there for almost an hour. A lot of persuasion and explanation later, family members calmed down. Currently, the police have registered a case of murder and formed four teams to track down the suspects. DCP M. Harshvardhan has confirmed the murder.
