In a shocking incident at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) in Mumbai's Kurla, a body of a seven-year-old boy was found stuffed inside a dustbin in the toilet of Kushinagar Express train, police said.

Police have identified his cousin, 26-year-old Vikas Saha, a native of Bihar, as an alleged prime suspect in the crime. He is currently absconding, and a manhunt has been launched to trace him.

According to the police, Vikas kidnapped the minor boy from Amroli in Surat, Gujarat, on Friday and brought him to Mumbai. He allegedly strangled the boy inside the bathroom of AC coach B2 before fleeing, leaving the child’s body stuffed upside down in the dustbin with his legs hanging outside.
