Ghaziabad, April 20: Two of the three young men who abducted a young computer expert from Ghaziabad and killed him after failing to get a ransom for his release have been arrested, police said on Friday.
The body of Aayush Sharma, a student of Class 9 at Saint Francis Public School in Ghaziabad, was dumped in a pond after tying it to a heavy stone but it resurfaced on Friday, Senior Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Krishna told the media.
The teenager was abducted on April 16. His father complained the next day that he suspected Avdhesh alias Virat Sharma, an unemployed young boy, Vipul Singh (17) and Vishal for the crime.
While Avdhesh and Vipul have been arrested, Vishal is still at large.
The arrested youngsters told the police that that they lured Aayush to teach them how to make a PDF file. They then went towards a bridge in Vaishali and forced him to telephone his father, asking him to cough up Rs 2.3 lakh for his release.
But Aayush died after being hit on the head by a heavy blunt object.
"Aayush wanted to be an ethical hacker. So he was very much interested in computers. The abductors knew his skill but they could not achieve their mission," Krishna said.

Bangladesh's interim govt revokes ousted PM Sheikh Hasina's passport
Dhaka, Jan 7: Bangladesh's interim government on Tuesday said it has revoked the passport of ousted Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and 96 others over their alleged involvement in enforced disappearances and the July killings.
Hasina, 77, has been living in India since August 5 last year when she fled Bangladesh following a massive student-led protest that toppled her Awami League's (AL) 16-year regime.
Bangladesh's International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) has issued arrest warrants for Hasina and several former Cabinet ministers, advisers, and military and civil officials for “crimes against humanity and genocide”.
Addressing a press briefing here, Chief Adviser's Deputy Press Secretary Abul Kalam Azad Majumder said, "The Passports Department cancelled passports of 22 people involved in enforced disappearances, while passports of 75 people, including Sheikh Hasina, were revoked due to their involvement in the July killings.”
He, however, did not reveal the names of the remaining individuals whose passports were cancelled, the state-run BSS news agency reported.
