A 12-year-old boy who had gone out to buy milk was found dead in Fatehpur Police Station area in Saharanpur with injury marks on his neck, officials said on Wednesday.
According to police, Shavez, a resident of Sabripur village, had gone on a bicycle to purchase milk from a dairy outside the village on Tuesday.
