A two-year-old boy, who had gone
missing yesterday mysteriously, was found dead near his house today, police said.
Shiv Shankar(2), son of Dashrath Jha, had gone missing last evening, Deputy Superintendent of Police Vishwajit Srivastava said, adding that his relatives searched him whole night but could not trace him. Today somebody placed the dead body near his uncle's house, he said.
After watching the dead body, one of his relatives informed the police, he said. The family members of the deceased alleged that he was murdered, Srivastava said.
"As per relatives of the deceased, a month ago they had some disputes with their neighbours. They suspect neighbours may have kidnapped the boy and killed him," Srivastava said, adding that the body has been sent for post mortem.
