In a shocking and bizarre incident, a 13-year-old boy was allegedly raped and killed by two individuals after they were denied sex by their respective partners in Uttar Pradesh’s Kanpur. One of the two accused, who has been arrested, revealed his partner had refused to have sex with him during the ongoing holy month of Ramzan.

The incident took place on March 5 after a minor boy, who was on his way to the gym, was kidnapped by two men, identified as Azhar and Hussaini, reported India Today.

Both the accused took the 13-year-old boy to a forest, tied him up and threatened him. Later he raped him, strangled him with a rope, and threw his body in a well, the report added.

Hussaini, one of the two accused arrested, told the police that he and Azhar were refused sex by their respective partners during Ramzan. However, they were very keen to have sex, so to satisfy their sexual desires, they got in touch with a 13-year-old boy who was physically appealing to them

“My girlfriend and Ajju’s (Azhar’s) wife refused to have sex with us during Ramzan, but we were very keen to have sex with them. We wondered what we would do if these two did not have sex with us for a month till Ramzan ends. Following this, we laid our eyes on the 13-year-old boy. He was good-looking," Hussaini told the police, as quoted by the news outlet.

As per the report, the boy went missing on March 5. According to police, the two accused told the boy that they were taking him along to meet a girl.

The next day, the arrested accused, who lived in the same locality as the boys, approached his family and asked them to check their phones to see if the kidnappers had sent any messages. Upon checking, they saw a message seeking Rs 10 lakh ransom.

The boy’s family members later realised that Hussaini had vanished in the night when the minor was kidnapped but was there the next morning. When the police arrived and quizzed him, they found discrepancies in his remarks, the report added.

Hussaini then confessed that he and Azhar were involved in the kidnapping, rape and murder of the child.

Meanwhile, the manhunt to catch the abandoned accused is underway.
