JAIPUR: Almost a month after a two-year-old boy went missing from Weir in
Bharatpur, the police have detained an occultist, suspected to know the whereabouts of the missing boy, late on Tuesday evening.
Police also recovered a
skull and some bones from the residence of the occultist, which were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) for further examination.
“The bones and skull have been sent for forensic testing to ascertain the age of the skull. As of now, we have neither concluded that the boy was murdered nor ruled it out. We are awaiting the reports from the FSL and also other corroborative evidence to conclude the case. We believe the tantrik can throw some light in the case,” said
SP Bharatpur, Devendra Bishnoi, while talking to TOI.
In the investigation so far, police suspect that the tantrik had kidnapped the boy and must have killed him. However, police are awaiting medical and other relevant report before concluding the case as murder and arrest the accused.
