The body of a 13-year-old boy, who was missing for two days after he went for a haircut, was found inside an iron trunk in a barber's shop near his home, police said Sunday.

Arham Hussain, son of a businessman in south Delhi's Jamia Nagar, had gone for a haircut to the shop near his home Friday evening, but did not return.

On Saturday, his father received a phone call demanding Rs.10 lakh as ransom.

A police team Sunday evening found Hussain's decomposed body wrapped in a blanket inside the trunk in the same shop where the boy had gone for a haircut.

 

Police rounded up two employees of the shop while the owner is absconding.
