NAVI MUMBAI: A south Mumbai diamond broker's teenage son was
kidnapped for ransom and murdered. The body of his son was found at Navi
Mumbai.
Thirteen-year-old
Aditya Ranka's body was found at Pali village near Navi Mumbai late on Tuesday.
His 25-year-old cousin Himanshu Ranka, and Himanshu's friend Vijesh Sanghvi
(28), were arrested.
Himanshu
and Vijesh were addicted to betting on cricket matches and deep in debt.
Himanshu identified the target who was his own cousin Aditya Ranka, while
Vijesh carried out the kidnapping and murder. A ransom call was made to
Jitendra's cell phone, who initially took it as a joke. But upon learning that
his son had gone out after receiving a call, he registered a complaint.
According
to police, as Vijesh was driving towards Navi Mumbai, Aditya tried to escape,
following which he stabbed the boy to death. He then pulled over at a quiet
spot, transferred the body to the boot, and drove to Pali village. There, he
allegedly tried to burn the body and then abandoned it near a farmhouse.
The
body of Aditya Rankha was found dumped near the Mumbai-Pune Expressway in
Kalamboli, Navi Mumbai. The two men said they had lost Rs 7 lakh while betting
on recent T20 matches. They had to pay back their debts and hatched a plan to
kidnap Aditya.
Aditya's
body, which has several wounds, has been sent for a post-mortem to JJ Hospital,
Byculla.
