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.

Rajasthan: Constable shunted to police lines after sharing Rahul Gandhi's post on 'vote theft'
Jaipur (PTI): A constable posted in Didwana-Kuchaman was shunted to police lines after he allegedly reposted a post by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi using the official X handle of the district police.
The post, which alleged "vote theft" in Haryana by the central government and the Election Commission, was reposted on Wednesday evening. However, it was removed immediately after the matter came to the notice of senior officials.
Officials said that the police department does not support the post.
The constable was responsible for operating the X handle. He was removed from the duty and attached to police lines, the officials said.
Superintendent of Police Richa Tomar said that the police department does not support the post and it was removed immediately after it came to notice.
"The post may have been shared due to an individual's mistake or account hacking. A detailed inquiry has been assigned to the Additional Superintendent of Police, Didwana," the SP added.
The post had claimed irregularities in Haryana's voter list, including multiple votes registered under the same photo and duplicate entries across different constituencies.
