Indore, Jan 31 (NationPress) A gruesome murder has sent shockwaves through the Srinagar Kankad locality of Indore. The remains of 13-year-old Ali Qadri were discovered concealed within a bed inside a building that was either under construction or abandoned, located just a few meters from his residence.
As per police reports, Ali was reported missing on Thursday evening around 7:30 PM after he left home to attend his coaching classes. His family, filled with anxiety, searched for him throughout the night but to no avail.
On the following Friday evening, his family filed a missing person report at the MG Road police station. The police then initiated a thorough investigation. Analyzing CCTV footage proved to be pivotal, revealing Ali walking with two young men near the colony gate. This critical clue led the officers to a nearby structure in the same vicinity.
Authorities have apprehended Rehan, while another suspect, believed to be aged between 14 and 15, remains at large, as reported by officials.
During their search, law enforcement uncovered Ali’s remains hidden inside a bed within the premises. His school bag, books, and jacket were located on the building’s roof, further confirming the site as the crime scene.
Rehan, a 21-year-old, was spotted in the CCTV footage alongside Ali and the minor. Officials stated that the suspect strangled the young boy to conceal the evidence and delay its discovery.
Ali's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination to ascertain the precise cause and time of death. Investigators are continuing to explore the motives behind this heinous act.
Rehan had been employed at a local lathe machine shop, but has reportedly been out of work for two to three months, according to officials.
Police are interrogating the suspect to piece together the entire sequence of events. In a tragic development, an elderly woman, Rehan's grandmother, was also found lying nearby. Both suspects reside in close proximity, just a few meters away in a multi-storied building.
Authorities have pledged a comprehensive and swift investigation to ensure justice for Ali’s devastated family.
