New Delhi: A three-year-old boy, who was reported to be missing since September 2 evening, was on Friday found dead under mysterious circumstances inside his house at a slum cluster in south Delhi's R K Puram area.

Body of the boy, identified as Jatin, was discovered lying face-down between a drum and a trunk at a corner in the innermost room of a shanty, where he lived with his family. Jatin's body was covered with clothes, which were apparently stacked above the trunk, said a police official.
