Two weeks ago he was airlifted to Delhi from Bhopal after his health deteriorated all of a sudden.
Police arrested a 19-year-old man for allegedly abducting and killing the eight-year-old son of his woman neighbour with whom he was having illicit relations, an officer said today.
Police suspect that the accused, identified as Vishal Rupani, strangulated the boy to death after the relations between him and the woman turned sour over some reasons.
According to a police officer, the boy, a resident of Bairagarh locality, went missing while walking home from his school, located adjacent to Bairagarh, yesterday.

“His body was later found in a sack from the open land near Mubarakpur toll barrier booth on the outskirts of the city,” Bairagarh police station in-charge Sudhir Arjaria said.
He said the police arrested Rupani after the boy’s family members suspected that he could be behind the abduction.
“We arrested Vishal Rupani on charges of abduction and murder of the eight-year-old boy,” the police officer said.
He said Rupani, who is unmarried, developed illicit relations with the mother of the boy whom he was giving tuitions for the last six months.
