Nandyal: Mystery shrouds the murder of a four-year-old child whose burnt body was found in the fields of Pandurangapuram village in Nandyal mandal. A few days ago, on 30 March, the police had registered a missing case after a four-year-old child, Surya, disappeared from a nearby hamlet, Bapuji Nagar. He had gone to the anganwadi center when he went missing.



According to V. Murali Mohan, the circle inspector of Nandyal taluk, a body was found burnt in a sack of black gram chaff. However, the police are yet to confirm if it is the missing boy. "We have formed special teams to probe into the case. As we couldn't find anything for post-mortem, the forensic teams have recovered bones to conduct DNA tests and taken samples from the family members," the CI told NewsMeter.

The police only know that the body is of a child aged between three-four years. They are looking at both murder and missing angles.
