A day after the highly decomposed body of a five-year-old boy was found in a room in Vasai in Maharashtra's Palghar district, police said efforts were on to nab those who had kidnapped and killed him.
The child, identified as Shailesh, went missing from his home on Tuesday after which his father had filed a police complaint.
"We found a decomposed body in a room in Vasai east on Friday. Our probe found it was that of Shailesh, a resident of Maneechapada. He was kidnapped and then killed. A manhunt has been launched for those responsible for the act," Inspector Vilas Chowgule of Valiv police station said on Saturday.
