The charred body of a three-year-old boy, who was kidnapped in Bhopal on Sunday, has been found near his house, police said on Tuesday.
Varun, the son of local resident Vipin Meena, was kidnapped when he went out of his home at Baragarh in Chichali area of Bhopal to buy chocolates.
The child's burnt body was found around 50 feet away from his home on Tuesday afternoon, Kolar police station's inspector Anil Bajpai said.
