Greater Noida-based businessman's missing son found dead after 4 days
Noida, May 5
A Greater Noida-based businessman’s minor son, who went missing on May 1, was found dead in the adjoining Bulandshahr district on Sunday, police officials said.
The body of the Class 8 student was found along a canal in Bulandshahr, they said.
Krishna Kumar Sharma, who runs ‘Shiva da dhaba’ in Greater Noida, said a woman had come to call his 14-year-old son Kunal at his eatery on May 1, and he went along with her but never returned.
“Around 2.15 pm, the woman came and took my son with her. When he did not return for a long time, we called up on his mobile phone but it was switched off,” Sharma said in his complaint to the police.
The police lodged an FIR under Section 363 (kidnapping) of the IPV against unidentified persons the same night and launched an investigation.
A CCTV footage also surfaced on social media that purportedly showed the boy walking to a car and sitting in it without anyone forcing him to do so.
Additional Police Commissioner (law and order) Shivhari Meena said multiple police teams had been put on the case, and CCTV footage is also being analysed.
“A fact emerged in the case that the boy had left (in a car) with a girl. The people who are under suspicion in the case are being called and questioned by the police. Along with this, other angles in the case are being examined,” he said.
“Today, the boy’s body was found along a canal in adjoining Bulandshahr district. Further legal proceedings are being carried. Some more important facts have come to light and the case would be cracked soon,” Meena added.
