New Delhi, July 5 (IANS) A 26-year-old man has been arrested for abducting and killing the four-year-old boy of his neighbour, police said Tuesday.

Shyam Babu Chowdhary was arrested from south Delhi’s Mehrauli area Monday.

His arrest came after the boy’s father lodged a police complaint saying his son was missing since May 21.

“Chowdhary was always present with the victim’s father, which was suspicious,” a police officer said.

During interrogation, he said he kidnapped the boy and killed him in a jungle near Mehrauli May 21.

Chowdhary added that he had developed affection towards the child, but his father told him to stay away from him. This provoked him to murder the boy.
