Vijayawada: A one-and-a-half year old boy was allegedly kidnapped and killed by his uncle who then dumped the body in Krishna River in Guntur, police said on Thursday. The toddler's body was found by the Tadepalli Police on the banks of Krishna River in the early hours on Thursday.

“The boy, Bodapati Mokshanadh, who lived with his grandfather Rambabu, an assistant sub-inspector of police at Ponnur, had gone missing last evening after his paternal uncle Hari Krishna (the brother of the boy's father) took him away,” an inspector at Tadepalli Police Station said.

“Later, a missing complaint was filed at Ponnur Police Station,” Rambabu said.

Since Hari Krishna was the last person with whom the boy was seen, police suspect that he kidnapped the minor and then killed him and dumped the body in the river.

The boy's father Bhaskar works as a software engineer at an IT firm in Hyderabad. A search has been launched for the boy's uncle, the police said.
