As per Delhi Police, the accused brought the 6-year-old child to an under-construction building and killed him by slitting his throat.
A six-year-old boy was murdered by two youths in Delhi's Lodhi Colony on Saturday night. Both accused allegedly killed the minor by slitting his throat and their eerie confession to the police is nothing less than shocking.
Delhi Police arrested two individuals and the duo have been questioned about the boy's murder. As per the police, the accused brought the child to an under-construction building of CRPF and killed him on the premises.
The accused have been identified as Jai Kumar and Amar Kumar, and they were both caught by CRPF (central reserve police force) personnel. The incident came to light after security guards of the building dialled the PCR (police control room).
A round of interrogation revealed that the accused did not plead his innocence in the crime. In fact, he said that 'God' had asked him to carry out the killing of the child.
The accused said that while he was offering prayers in the evening on Saturday, God had asked him to carry out the murder of the boy. The arrested accused Vijay told the police that he carried out the murder after 'Bhole Baba' asked him to sacrifice the child, after which he carried out the crime.
