Hyderabad police arrested a man for the sexual assault and murder of a five-year-old boy in Ramanthapur. The child’s parents, who are migrant workers from Chhattisgarh, had reported him missing on Thursday night, leading to a massive search operation.
During the search, police noticed a man behaving suspiciously near the family’s residence. He was identified as Kamar, a native of Bihar, and taken into custody for questioning. His behaviour raised concerns and officers kept a close watch on him.
On interrogation, Kamar allegedly confessed to luring the boy, sexually assaulting him, and then murdering him. The child’s body was later recovered from nearby bushes, shocking the local community and drawing strong condemnation from citizens and authorities alike.
A case was registered under sections of the Indian Penal Code along with the POCSO Act. The accused was remanded to judicial custody. Forensic teams collected evidence to strengthen the case and ensure the investigation was completed without any delays.
Senior police officials condemned the brutal crime and promised a fast-track trial. They assured the victim’s family of counselling and support during this difficult time. Authorities appealed to citizens to stay vigilant and report suspicious activities around children.
Child rights activists urged stronger awareness and protective measures in communities. They stressed the importance of public cooperation to prevent crimes against children. The incident has once again raised urgent questions about child safety in urban neighbourhoods.
Police assured the public that justice would be delivered swiftly. They said every effort will be taken to support the grieving family. The crime has left the city in shock and highlighted the pressing need for community vigilance.
