In a tragic end to the kidnap drama, 12-year-old Gokavarapu Naga of Amalapuram was strangled to death by an engineering student, Dangeti Ravichandra, after he had abducted him on Wednesday last.
Based on the data received from cell towers, the police special team tracked the accused Ravichandra to a hotel in Visakhapatnam last night.
During interrogation, the accused spilled the beans to the police that he killed the boy on the same night.
He cooked up the kidnap story for getting a ransom of Rs five lakh from the boy’s family.
On the fateful evening that day, Ravichandra took the boy on his two-wheeler from Amalapuram on the pretext of showing Kakinada City and beach.
