After two days, the 5-year-old boy’s dead body was recovered from a tubewell.

Shubham Patel, Superintendent of Police stated that in the time of interrogation, the teenagers admitted to the crime. They told cops that they were unhappy with Aditya's father and decided to murder one of his sons to take revenge and hurt him.
