Shimla:
Protests broke out in Shimla today after the skeletal remains of a four-year-old boy, kidnapped two years ago, was found. Protesters alleged police inaction against the accused.
Markets remained closed as traders joined the protesters including the victim's family members who alleged the police did not make any serious efforts to trace the boy.
Yug was kidnapped on June 14, 2014 and his skeletal remains was recovered by CID from the water tank of municipal corporation at Celestine near Bharari on Monday evening.
The skeletal remains was recovered following the information given by the main accused -- Vikrant Bakshi during interrogation, police said.
Police said the skeletal remains was identified as that of Yug as the accused had said that they had dumped the boy in the water tank.
Two other accused -- Chander Sharma and Tajender Singh, who runs a shop at Ram Bazaar and were out on bail earlier but arrested again and a case of murder under IPC section 302 was lodged against them and Vikrant Bakshi.
Satish Gupta, uncle of Yug, alleged that he was killed after eight days of abduction and the accused kept on demanding ransom even after killing him.
He alleged that Vikrant Bakshi killed his nephew.
The protest started after it was revealed that the arrested persons were the same suspects who the family members had named in the case.
The traders said had the police taken a timely action when the accused were reportedly demanding ransom, the boy could have been saved.
The protesters staged a dharna outside the Vidhan Sabha demanding death penalty for the accused and social boycott of their families. They later marched towards the High Court and Raj Bhawan in Shimla.
