Police said that the victim was a Class 9 student and was addicted to alcohol and ganja. His family earlier stayed in Kalamboli, hence he had a lot of friends from that area.

Sanjay Patil, senior inspector of Kalamboli police station, said, “The teenager had the habit of staying at his friends’ houses. On Sunday night, he left for Kalamboli to meet some friends and did not return home. His body was found near a dairy at Sector 5 the next morning.

“We spotted injury marks on his body. Prima facie, it appears that he was beaten to death by the unidentified accused. We are investigating further.”
