In Marhauli, a young man killed his own 16-year-old friend for refusing to give him a mobile to play the game. He threw the body into the well. Police recovered the body and sent it for a post-mortem. The accused has been arrested and sent to jail.
Rajaram, a resident of Madhauli, the native village of Sandeep Singh, Minister of State for Finance, works in a milk dairy in Atrauli. Their 16-year-old son, Sumit Kumar, was a student in class IX at DKS School. Sumit had been missing since Friday morning.
The family had complained to the police, expressing doubts about Chandrapal, son of Vinod (20 years old), of the village itself. When the police brought Vinod to the police station and interrogated him, he confessed to the murder. Vinod told the police that he and Sumit were sitting near the kiln behind Raj Dhaba. He asked Sumit for a mobile to play the game.
Sumit refused to give up the mobile. There was a dispute between the two on this matter. In a fit of rage, he strangled Sumit to death with a rag, and threw the body into Surendra Kumar's well in the ruins near the kiln. COO Narendrai Saini said that on the behest of Vinod, the police recovered the body from the well and sent it for post-mortem in the early hours of Monday.
Vinod is arrested and sent to jail. The people of the village blocked the Ramghat road. The villagers said that the police had been misleading them for three days. Efforts are on to save the accused. Inspector Sanjay Jaiswal reached the spot. He assured them of strict action against the accused, and then people opened the jam.
