Missing Bengaluru student found dead days after ransom demand over whatsApp video
Police arrested six persons in connection with the crime and were led by them to the place where the body was buried.
According to reports, Sharath, whose father, Niranjan Kumar is a senior Income Tax official, was kidnapped on September 12 after he left home to visit his friends with his new motorcycle.
Two days later, Sarath's parents received a video on WhatsApp in which he asked them to meet the ransom demand of his abductors.
NDTV quoted police sources as saying that a second WhatsApp video helped establish that he was alive.
One of the suspects was reportedly known to the family.
