Crime branch initiates investigations in Sayajigunj child murder case

VADODARA: With the Sayajigunj police failing to get leads in the murder of a 12-year-old child, the case has now been transferred to the detection of crime branch (DCB). The crime branch has circulated sketches of the suspect who allegedly kidnapped and killed Rahul Dantali in Sayajigunj area on June 4. Rahul’s body was found from under a bridge near Faculty of Fine Arts.
The police said that they have got CCTV footages of the accused who took Rahul away but the images are not clear. Rahul was kidnapped by the accused early on the morning of June 4 when he was sleeping with his family by roadside near Sardar Patel Circle. The police are yet to ascertain whether the accused abused the child sexually before killing him.
Two similar incidents had happened in Sayajigunj in February this year when two children were kidnapped from roadside when they were sleeping with their family. Both the kids were sexually molested and later murdered. The police had arrested a mentally challenged person in the case.?
