The station head said, “Meanwhile, the girl’s parents started searching for her when they couldn’t find her till evening, it was then the two boys told them about Tiwari luring them with money for candies.”

The police said that he hid the girl’s body in his shanty and had planned to dispose of it later in the night, the police said.
