One of the arrested is a cousin of the victim and the other one a friend.

An axe and a dry branch used in the murder of the minor boy have been recovered.

According to Sreejesh the murder was committed because of a family and land dispute.

Meantime, one more person has been arrested in connection to the case, though he was not directly involved with the murder.

Earlier, in the evening, State Chief Minister Biplab Kumar Deb visited the victims house and announced an ex gratia of Rs five lakh to the family.

He also said that police is investigating and no culprit will be spared.

Initially, locals suspected that the murder was done by some gang dealing with trafficking of human organ and the kidneys of the minor boy were removed and which led to heavy resentment and at least two police personnel were critically injured in a mob attack.

However, later during autopsy of the body it was found that all vital organs were intact.
