Agra, Jul 20: In a heartbreaking development, the body of an eight-year-old boy who was kidnapped from Agra nearly three months ago has been recovered from a village in Rajasthan, police confirmed on Saturday.

The victim, Abhay, a class 1 student and son of transport firm owner Vijay Pratap, had gone missing while playing outside his home in Vijay Nagar on April 30.

A few days after his disappearance, the family received a chilling ransom letter demanding ?80 lakh for the child’s release.

On Saturday, Rajasthan Police found Abhay’s body buried in Mania village and immediately alerted Agra Police. The body has since been sent for post-mortem.

Assistant commissioner of Police Amardeep Lal said, “The body has undergone a post-mortem examination. We are actively working on the case and are close to a breakthrough. It will be solved soon.”

The incident has sent shockwaves across the city, with residents demanding swift justice for the grieving family.
