Introduction

Tragedy struck the village of Palavedu in Gummidipoondi, Tiruvallur district, as an innocent eight-year-old boy, identified as S. Hanish, was abducted by a woman and her male associate. This horrifying incident occurred on Saturday, leaving the local community shocked and devastated. The police, after an extensive search, recovered the lifeless body of the young boy from a gunny bag. The culprits behind this heinous act are currently being pursued by law enforcement.

Background and Family Details

Hanish, a Class V student in a government school, was the son of Suresh, who worked in a private firm. Residing in the peaceful village of Palavedu, Hanish was a beloved member of the community. His sudden disappearance while playing in a vacant site near his house sent his parents into a state of panic and concern. Overwhelmed, they promptly reported the incident to the Padirivedu police, hoping for a swift resolution to their plight.

Discovery and Investigation

News of the boy’s whereabouts emerged when concerned villagers from a neighbouring village near Sri City informed Hanish’s family that they had spotted him in the company of Rekha, a 32-year-old neighbour, and her friend Ravannaih, aged 50. The distressed villagers immediately staged a protest in Palavedu, demanding urgent action to rescue the abducted boy. Acting on this information, the police swiftly tracked down Rekha and subjected her to interrogation.

The Sinister Plot

Initial investigations revealed that Rekha and Ravannaih had kidnapped Hanish with the intention of demanding a ransom from his parents. The duo had planned to transport the young boy to a village near Sri City in Andhra Pradesh. Unfortunately, their journey was marred by an accident with an autorickshaw near the state border. A heated argument ensued between Rekha, Ravannaih, and the autorickshaw driver, as they disputed responsibility for the damages caused.

A Desperate Act

Amidst the chaos, two empathetic youths from the village intervened to calm the escalating situation. Concerned for Hanish’s welfare, they noticed his presence with Rekha and Ravannaih. However, before any action could be taken, the couple abandoned their bike at the state border and proceeded on another motorbike towards their intended destination. Sensing danger, the youths immediately contacted Hanish’s parents, who promptly reached out to Rekha seeking information about their missing child.

Tragic Outcome

Overwhelmed by fear and panic, Rekha and Ravannaih realized that their plan had gone awry. As time passed and the situation grew increasingly dire, Ravannaih made the horrifying decision to smother Hanish to death. The inconsolable duo then concealed the lifeless body in a gunny bag and discarded it in a bush along the Tada – Kalahasti Road.

Justice Served

Following a relentless pursuit of justice, the Padirivedu police from Tiruvallur district successfully recovered Hanish’s body and apprehended Rekha. The missing persons case transformed into a murder investigation, resulting in the arrest of Rekha, who now awaits judicial proceedings in custody. The police continue their efforts to locate and apprehend Ravannaih, ensuring that he faces the full force of the law.
