Teenager Found Murdered in Kerala; Three Detained in Connection
A 17-year-old boy named Abhiram from Thiruvananthapuram was found strangled and his body stuffed in a sack in an isolated plot after going missing. Police arrested two teenagers, including an 18-year-old girl, and detained a 22-year-old man with a criminal background. Investigations suggest Abhiram was lured via Instagram and killed following a dispute linked to a romantic relationship. The victim's father suspects Abhiram was not the intended target but was killed after refusing to bring another friend to the spot.
