Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, September 9: In a tragic and shocking incident in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, a 20-year-old youth studying in Maharashtra's Pune and his accomplice were arrested for the kidnapping and murder of a 14-year-old boy identified as Parmeshwar Bobde, who happened to be the younger brother of their friend. The motive behind this heinous crime was a dispute over a hand loan of Rs 35,000.

According to the Times of India report, the accused, identified as Balaji Chavan and Naresh Jadhav, both hailing from Chorwad in Parbhani district, allegedly resorted to this extreme act after their attempts to recover the borrowed money failed. Parmeshwar Bobde was kidnapped from Vasmat Road in Parbhani around 10 am on Thursday, September 7. The case took a swift turn as investigators discovered messages on the victim's elder brother's phone demanding the repayment of the debt.
