The police secured the older boy after a gun battle with the kidnappers in Karaudiya locality. Priyansh was found dead in the room the kidnappers had locked the brothers in.
Four criminals were arrested, one of them sustained gunshot injuries.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the injured and traumatised child and announced a Rs five lakh compensation for the family of deceased Priyansh.
