Body of kidnapped teenager recovered, locals protest

The body of a kidnapped teenaged boy was recovered from Kaliachak this morning, following which local people put up road blockade and attacked policemen.

Police said 14-year-old Sabir Momin's body, which bears marks of torture, was found from a mango orchard in Nouda-Jadupur gram panchayat this morning.

Sabir, a student of class VII and the son of Ibrahim Momin, was kidnapped yesterday.

The killing was a result of rivalry between two gangs of Kaliachak, police said

After the body was found, local people squatted on the arterial NH-34 for around three hours to protest against the murder.

Police said the agitators pelted stones at them and two policemen sustained minor injuries.
 

Later, after reinforcement arrived, the police lifted the squatters from the the national highway.
