Banda, Nov 4 (PTI) The body of a 13-year-old boy, who had been missing since Monday evening, was recovered from the Ken River here on Wednesday, a police officer said.
The boy, identified as Anuj, was a resident of the Nunia locality under the City Kotwali police station limits, Circle Officer Saurabh Singh said.
He said the boy’s body was recovered from the river on Wednesday and sent for postmortem examination.
According to neighbours, Anuj’s parents had died earlier, and he lived with his younger brother, aged around eight years.
