Mumbai Crime News: Three Minors Found Guilty in Death of Classmate A shocking incident unfolded in Mumbai's Bhandup area, where three underage boys were arrested for the murder of their classmate, Siddharth Londhe, who was found dead in a lake. The case has sparked widespread concern over youth violence and the need for stricter oversight. Siddharth, a 14-year-old student, went missing on February 22 after telling his parents he was going to play. His family launched a search but could not locate him. On February 23, his body was discovered in a nearby lake, prompting police to investigate. The case was initially registered as an abduction, but further inquiries revealed a different truth. According to police, Siddharth was last seen with a group of friends, including the three accused, who were also in the same class. During the investigation, the suspects admitted to the crime, claiming they had attacked Siddharth after a dispute. The boys allegedly beat him with a wooden stick, leading to fatal head injuries. To cover up the crime, they threw his body into the lake, falsely claiming he had drowned. Forensic reports confirmed the cause of death, revealing severe head trauma and internal bleeding. The police, however, noted inconsistencies in the suspects' accounts, prompting further scrutiny. One of the accused eventually confessed to the murder, while the others corroborated the story. The three minors, now aged 14, were transferred to a juvenile care home in Dongri. Authorities have seized the wooden stick used in the attack and are considering legal action. The case has raised questions about the role of peer pressure and the lack of supervision among schoolchildren.#police #mumbai_bhandup #siddharth_londhe #juvenile_care_home_dongri #school_children
