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.

Bihar govt to constitute 100 fast-track courts to expedite disposal of criminal cases: Home min
Patna (PTI): Bihar Home Minister Samrat Choudhary on Sunday announced that the state government will establish 100 fast-track courts (FTCs) to ensure the swift disposal of pending cases.
He said that the move also aims to ease the burden on regular courts for them to accord due attention to sensitive cases.
Choudhary said the decision in this regard has been made considering that over 18 lakh cases are pending before different courts in the state.
The constitution of FTCs will "bring in a big relief" to the judicial system and litigants, he said.
"To operationalise 100 FTCs across 38 districts and sub-divisions, the government will undertake large-scale recruitment," the home minister asserted in a statement.
He said that a total of 900 posts, including those of bench clerks, office clerks, stenographers, deposition writers, data entry operators, drivers, process servers and peons, will be filled.
Choudhary also announced that 79 courts will be designated as 'act courts' to fast-track cases related to the Arms Act. Swift resolution of such serious cases, he said, will strengthen law and order in the state.
The minister said that Patna alone will get eight fast-track courts, while four courts each will be set up in Gaya, Muzaffarpur, Darbhanga and Bhagalpur. Three FTCs each are planned for Nalanda (Bihar Sharif), Rohtas (Sasaram), Saran (Chhapra), Begusarai, Vaishali (Hajipur), East Champaran (Motihari), Samastipur and Madhubani.
Similarly, two courts each will be established in West Champaran (Bettiah), Saharsa, Purnea, Munger, Nawada, Jehanabad, Arwal, Aurangabad, Kaimur (Bhabhua), Buxar, Bhojpur (Arrah), Sitamarhi, Sheohar, Siwan, Gopalganj, Supaul, Madhepura, Araria, Kishanganj, Katihar, Banka, Jamui, Sheikhpura, Lakhisarai and Khagaria. One FTC each is also proposed for the sub-divisional courts of Naugachia and Bagaha.
