The official said that two accused, Sanjay and Lavkush (18), instead of helping Vikram, dragged him in injured condition via the tractor harvester and dismembered him while he was still alive. Both the accused then chopped off his body into at least 17 pieces and buried across the field, while his clothes and shoes were dumped in a nearby pond to destroy evidence.
Meanwhile, Vikram’s family filed a missing complaint on December 9 and during the probe, the police found the teenager’s clothes and shoes near the pond on December 15.
The police ultimately arrested Verma and Lavkush on Monday and during the interrogation, the duo confessed to the crime. Police spent an entire day digging the field, recovering 17 pieces of Vikram’s body. The remains were sent for DNA testing to confirm the identity, and a postmortem examination is underway, the report added.
