Three days after a youth identified as Monu Verma went missing, his body was found from bushes near railway tracks in the Mohkampura area here on Sunday.
This development led the family to stage a protest by keeping the body outside the Mohkampura police station against the alleged police inaction in the case who said had the police acted on time, Monu would have been alive. Pyara Lal, the father of the deceased, said: “The cops sought money from us for registering an FIR in the case.”Chandan Verma, brother of the deceased, said on Thursday, Monu (21) came to give him a lunch box at the shop he (Chandan) worked at. He left the shop for home, but did not reach there. He said they then tried to locate him. He said they lodged a missing complaint with the Mohkampura police.
Pyara Lal alleged that a few days ago, Monu had a quarrel with some boys at an eatery point. The boy threatened to kill him, however, the family did not take the matter seriously, considering it a minor dispute. He said the family suspected the same boys killed Monu. “Monu’s body had injury marks of a sharp weapon in his neck, stomach and hands.
