Boy’s body dumped near track by parents

VISAKHAPATNAM: The body of a little boy found beside the railway track near Chavulamadhum on Tuesday led to rumours that he was murdered.

According to Government Railway Police (GRP) CI P. Srinivasa Rao, the boy – Bishoi – was a patient suffering from severe anaemia. His parents took him for treatment and were returning by the Prasanthi Express on Tuesday when he died before the train reached Vijayawada. Being very poor, they laid the body beside the track and were leaving the place when the Railway Police took them into custody.

“They said they had no money to perform the funeral and medical reports also supported their statements that the boy was a patient,” Mr. Srinivasa Rao said.
