Two persons have allegedly killed a 13-year-old boy to escape police action pertaining to an accident in which the victim was injured in Chhattisgarh's Bemetara district, police said on Thursday. The duos accused - Omprakash Sahu aged 35 and his brother-in-law Shiv Kumar Sahu aged 48, have been arrested and Sahu's 17-year-old son has been detained, they said.
The body of the victim was found floating in a pond in Boriya village here on November 16 following which a special team of police was deployed to conduct a probe into the case, Superintendent of Police Divyang Patel said. The victim was a native of the nearby Khurusbod village. He had gone 'missing' on November 9 and his family lodged a police complaint the next day, the official said.
ON the basis of suspicion, the police questioned Omprakash who confessed to have committed the crime, Patel said. He said on November 9 evening, the victim received grievous injuries when a tractor driven by Omprakash's son hit him. Fearing police action, Omprakash, instead of taking the victim to hospital, hid him at a nearby place.
