Investigations botched up &ldquo;We searched a lot for the boy and even checked Gulab&rsquo;s Kandivli residence, but couldn&rsquo;t find anything there,&rdquo; recalled the official.
The GRP officials then sent a wireless message to all police stations about the missing boy, to which the Valiv police responded. The body has been sent to J J Hospital for post-mortem. Chandraprakash was arrested by the UP police yesterday, but the brothers are still absconding.
On the other hand, the Kurla GRP is enraged at the way in which Valiv police handled the case, the latter having only registered an accidental death report (ADR) initially. Senior Police Inspector Vijay Dabholkar of the Kurla GRP said, &ldquo;The Valiv police should&rsquo;ve registered an offence in the primary stages during the post-mortem.
Injuries on the body could be clearly seen. This is a case of honour killing and the boy was only 15 &ndash; they should&rsquo;ve taken the case seriously. We couldn&rsquo;t find any evidence on the spot; the police managed to wipe out any clues we could&rsquo;ve found. We have written to the department calling for action against their shameful work.&rdquo;

Abhishek Yadav,&nbsp;whose decomposed body was found near the Vasai forest, had run away from his UP village to the city with his 19-year-old girlfriend Ruchi Yadav&nbsp;last month
