In a shocking incident, a 17-year-old boy was murdered in Kanpur by his teacher’s boyfriend who then also gave the boy’s family a ransom note to make it look like a kidnapping, according to the police. The officials asserted that the boy, a class 10 student, was brought to a store room by Prabhat Shukla, who is the lover of the boy’s tuition teacher Rachita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After probing into the CCTV footage, the police officials said that the boy willingly followed Prabhat from his home to the store room. Reports stated that Prabhat told the boy that his teacher, Rachita, is calling him, which is why he follows him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police further added that the boy and Prabhat can be seen entering the room together. After 20 minutes, Prabhat comes out of the room, but the boy does not. On the grounds of preliminary investigation, cops said that no one else seems to have entered the room after that. Later, the accused then changed his clothes and was seen going away on the boy’s scooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As per reports, the police have arrested Prabhat, 21-year-old Rachita, and their friend Aryan in the case. The police officials asserted that the family had also received a letter demanding ransom. However, preliminary investigation has revealed that the boy had been murdered before the letter was delivered. The police added that the threat letter was a tactic to divert attention. Nonetheless, the motive of the murder is not ascertained yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
