"On February 26, a mutilated body (with a severed hand and leg) was found in Allalpatti area along the railway tracks. The body, which was beyond recognition, was handed over to family members after officials confirmed that it was the remains of the missing teen," police said. However on Thursday, the boy appeared before the Darbhanga District Court and claimed he had been abducted. He told the court that he was playing cricket in his locality when three or four persons approached him and pressed a cloth over his mouth. He said he couldn't recall anything after that. It was only later that the teen realised he had been taken to Nepal. However, he managed to break free from his captors and eventually returned home. The boy also informed the court that he first made a video call to his brother to let him know he was alive. His brother then went to Nepal to bring him home. Later, instead of reporting the matter to police, he chose to appear directly before the court.
