In a bizarre incident, a 15-year-old boy allegedly killed his 16-year-old classmate, suspecting that his best friend was ogling at his sister.
The body of the teenager was found in an orchard in Dhampur town of Bijnor. Police said the accused was detained on Friday.
Giving this information on Saturday, Dhampur’s Circle Officer Indu Siddharth said the police had recovered the knife used in the murder. The victim's mobile phone was also recovered from the school bag of the accused.
They were students of Class IX in a private school in Nagina.
As the incident involves different communities, a heavy police force was deployed in the region to maintain law and order, police said.
The CO said, "The accused told the police that the victim used to frequent his house and ogle at his sister, and that is why he hatched a plan to eliminate his friend. The accused took him on his motorcycle to a mango orchard on Thursday evening and they consumed alcohol. He then killed his buddy by slitting his throat."
The family members of the victim later lodged a 'missing' report after the boy did not return home till late Thursday night. After the recovery of the body on Friday, the cops swung into action and picked up the friend for interrogation after which he confessed to the crime.
