The body of a 17-year-old boy, who had been missing for the past five days, has been found here and two "contract killers" have been arrested for allegedly murdering him, with the police claiming that the killing was carried out by brother of the boy's girlfriend.
Ashu's body was found in the Dankaur area here last night.
A student of Class X, Ashu had gone missing on October 23 after he went to market to get his brother's auto repaired.
Following a complaint by Ashu's family, police yesterday night arrested Rohit Nagar, a resident of Kanarsi here.
During interrogation, Rohit said he along with a history sheeter Dilshad had killed Ashu. He claimed they were paid Rs 2 lakh for it. They have been sent to jail today, police said.
Dilshad, a resident of Rampur Mazda, was arrested later.
On the basis of the information provided by them, Ashu's body was located.
The police claimed that Ashu had a love affair with a girl, but the girl's brother was opposed to the relationship and so he planned the murder and hired the contract killers.
They said the brother is absconding and added that a manhunt has been launched to arrest him.
Ashu's family, however, do not believe the police version and they along with some residents held protests here today.
