Kushinagar (UP) (PTI): A 12-year-old boy, who had been missing for the past three days, was found dead in the bushes along a canal about two kilometres from his house here, police said on Monday.
The body of the boy, identified as Rajveer Yadav, was recovered on Sunday night, they said.
Yadav, who had been living at his maternal grandparents' house in Gopalpur Virecha village, had left home around 3 pm on March 27 to purchase items from Hanuman Chauraha in Paikauli, but did not return, police said.
Based on his maternal uncle Aditya's complaint, the police lodged a missing person report. Following this, police launched a search operation, but no breakthrough was achieved.
Police said on Sunday night, around 8.30 pm, some locals spotted a body lying in bushes near a canal close to Radhiya Deoria, about two kilometres from the village, which was later identified as that of Rajveer.
Preliminary examination revealed dark marks around the boy's neck, raising suspicion of murder, police said.
Additional Superintendent of Police Siddharth Verma said the exact cause of death will be known after the post-mortem.
Police said Rajveer's father, Pramod Yadav, a resident of Katraul in Ramkola, works in Saudi Arabia, while his mother, Reena, lives with her two sons at her parental home.

Mamata accuses BJP of stoking fight among different sections of society to loot country
Belda (WB) (PTI): Trinamool Congress supremo Mamata Banerjee on Monday accused the BJP of stoking fight among all sections of society and claimed the saffron party wants to loot the country by taking advantage of the situation.
Addressing a poll rally here, the chief minister expressed strong reservations about Union Home Minister Amit Shah's political 'chargesheet' against the TMC government.
"The first chargesheet should be filed against (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi and Amit Shah, who came to power by stoking riots," she said.
"BJP is stoking a fight among all sections of society. It wants to loot the country, taking advantage of the situation evolving from such strife," she alleged while addressing the rally in Paschim Medinipur district.
She accused the BJP of trying to divide all -- from Hindu and Muslims to the administrative and police services.
She claimed that several government officers, including members of the civil service, who "used to work brilliantly," are now humiliated.
The West Bengal chief minister has been claiming that several senior officers have been "arbitrarily" removed to other poll-bound states by the poll panel on the insistence of the BJP, and has termed it a "political interference of the highest order".
