PRAYAGRAJ, Oct. 16 -- The body of a 16-year-old boy who had been missing for two days was found near the Sharda tributary canal in Gulchapa Dhurwa village on Wednesday morning. Police have registered a case and detained two of his relatives for questioning. The victim, Mohammad Hasnain, son of Parvez Alam, was a resident of Kanauja Khurd village under the IFFCO police outpost in the Phulpur Kotwali area. He was a class 8 student at the local gram panchayat school. According to reports, Hasnain left home around 5 pm on October 13 with his cousins Mohammad Junaid, son of Saeed Baba, and Mohammad Salman, son of the late Mohammad Rashid both residents of Malethua, Sandalpur, under Phulpur police station limits. When Hasnain did not return home that night, his mother, Asiya Begum, filed a missing person report at the Phulpur police station the following day. Police began searching for the boy but found no trace until Wednesday morning, when locals spotted a blood-soaked body near the canal, about five kilometres from his home. Upon reaching the spot, police recovered the body, along with a blood-stained T-shirt and a brick, suspected to have been used in the murder. It is alleged that Junaid and Salman killed Hasnain by hitting him on the head with a brick and then dumped his body near the canal to hide the crime. ACP Phulpur Vivek Yadav and SHO Praveen Kumar arrived at the scene and sent the body for post-mortem examination. A woman from Painsha village in Kaushambi district was arrested for falsely claiming her 10-year-old son had been kidnapped to extort Rs.1 lakh from her father. Shaheen staged the abduction and left a threatening ransom note at her parental home demanding money. Her husband, Mohd Wasim, has been working in Saudi Arabia for six years, leaving Shaheen alone with their son, Arshlal. The boy went missing on Monday while visiting his maternal grandparents in Paharpur, prompting Shaheen to file a kidnapping complaint. The police investigation took a turn when the boy's grandfather found the ransom letter outside his house. Officers led by inspector Roshan Lal searched Shaheen's locked home and found Arshlal hidden inside, alive but shocked. The boy said his mother had locked him up, telling him not to leave. Shaheen admitted to fabricating the kidnapping and writing the ransom note to extort money....
