A five-year-old boy, who was missing for the past three days, was today found dead in mysterious circumstances in a pit here.
The body was discovered in Swaroop Nagar area at around 3 AM and the deceased has been identified as Rohan, an LKG student, police said.
A villager informed the police after he found the semi-buried body inside a pit.
Rohan was missing since March seven and a case kidnapping was registered.
A senior police official said they suspect that the boy was murdered because his skull had fractures.
"It appears to be a case of personal enmity. The family had not received any ransom call," the official said.
Rohan's father Chandrabhan is a driver.
The incident comes days after two siblings, Mansij (7) and his sister Yashbi (5), who were kidnapped from their school, were found dead in a jungle. The kids' uncle and his two frineds have been arrested on murder charges.
