Overview
- Police recovered a decomposed body from Chhota Talab that was identified by family markings and clothing after the boy went missing on August 6, with the body found on August 10.
- Officers have named and arrested two adults, including alleged mastermind Zoheb Khan (20) and Aamir Qureshi (18), and have detained three minors who are accused of carrying out the killing.
- A post‑mortem confirmed homicidal stab wounds and that the victim’s private parts were removed; suspects told police they kept the parts while seeking buyers and later disposed of them.
- Investigators say the plot grew from a social‑media reel claiming testicles could fetch crores, with reported promised sums varying, but so far police have found no proven link to an organised organ‑trafficking network.
- Police are conducting digital forensics, interrogations and planned dives to recover the organs, and the case raises urgent issues about juvenile involvement in violent crime and the limits of lake recoveries as evidence.
