Ghaziabad, Dec. 30 -- The skeletal remains of an 11-year-old boy who went missing last month have been found near a village in Ghaziabad, police said on Monday. The body was found among bushes near Samaypur Katiyara village, said Surendra Nath Tiwary, DCP of the rural zone. The village falls under the jurisdiction of Masuri police station. It was not immediately clear how the boy died but the skull was found at some distance from the rest of the remains. He was also wearing, what appeared to be, a blood-stained T-shirt on the basis of which his family identified him. The body has been sent for autopsy to ascertain the cause of death and forensic teams have collected evidence from the site, the DCP added. "His body had decomposed, and the skeleton remained. It is possible that animals could have caused damage to the body during the period. We have formed teams to investigate the case and will try to probe different angles in the case," he said. The boy, a resident of the village, went missing on November 3 after he stepped out of their home saying that he'd be back soon, his family told HT, adding that they had been looking for him in "neighbouring villages and even in neighbouring districts and states" ever since. On November 4, police registered a first information report under BNS section 137(2) (punishment for kidnapping) against unidentified persons on the basis of a complaint filed by his mother, Seema Devi. Sagar Kumar, the elder brother of the boy, told HT, "On Sunday late afternoon, a boy from our village arrived and told us that he found a human-head-like part in the bushes outside the village. When we reached the spot, we found a human skull that seemed severed. At some distance we found a skeleton. We immediately informed the police."...
