A minor boy was among two people booked for the murder of a 16-year-old boy over an argument they had while swimming in a well in Chandwadi village in Fursungi area. While the adult has been remanded to police custody, the police are yet to apprehend the minor in the case.

The deceased, a Class 9 student, lived in the same area as the two accused and was a part of a group of local boys who went to the well in Fursungi to swim regularly, according to the police.
