VILLUPURAM: The body of a 10-yearold school boy from Villupuram district, who was kidnapped on Wednesday by a gang for ransom, was dug up from the forest area at Vedal village in the district on Sunday.
The boy reportedly died when the kidnappers tried to gag him to prevent shouting. The body was retrieved based on the information from one of the two youths arrested for the kidnap and murder.
Manikandan alias Deva, son of Ramamoorthy, a realtor from Marakkanam in Villupuram district, was missing from November 21.
Ramamoorthy had lodged a complaint with Marakkanam police. Meanwhile, he received an anonymous call demanding a ransom of Rs 7 lakh.
The caller wanted the money to be handed over in Chennai. The police traced the phone call to a village in Kancheepuram district. There they secured Hariharan (20), a relative of Ramamoorthy.
During interrogation, Hariharan admitted to having kidnapped the boy, with the help of his associates — Thenarasu (21) and Sathyamoorthy of Vedal village — to make some quick money.
As the boy died while they were trying to silence him, they buried the body in a remote area in Vedal.
