Minor boy’s body found inside metal box near Bareilly highway in UP

The body of a minor boy was found stuffed inside a metal box dumped near bushes under the Nakatia river bridge along the Delhi–Lucknow National Highway in Bareilly’s Izzatnagar area on Tuesday, police said.

A foul smell emanating from the box prompted locals to alert the police. “When the box was opened, the body of a boy was



recovered. Initial signs suggest he may have been killed elsewhere and the body dumped here,” Additional Superintendent of Police, City, Manush Parikh said.

A forensic team was called to the spot, and several crucial clues were collected, officials said. Senior Superintendent of Police Anurag Arya has formed four teams to crack the case.
