The boy's father had registered a complaint at Powai police station after his son did not return home till late night on Sunday. "After kidnapping the child, Amar took him to Navghar area of Bhayandar and kept the boy at the house of his accomplice Lalu. The duo, however, got scared when the victim's father called one of them and enquired about the
whereabouts of his son," an officer said.


"Thereafter, they strangulated the minor and dumped his body near Bhayandar creek," he said. According to police, the boy was last seen playing with Amar Singh before he went missing.
