ARA----------------------------Panic spread in Barka Lauhar village under Barhara police station in Bhojpur district on Sunday morning when the body of a ten-year-old boy, who had been missing for six days, was recovered from a well in the village. Upon finding the body, the deceased's family and villagers became enraged and blocked the Arrah-Barhara road near Barka Lauhar village.

According to reports, the deceased boy has been identified as Aditya Pandey, the 10-year-old son of Rajnikant Pandey, a resident of Barka Lauhar village under Barhara police station. Aditya had been missing for the past six days, and his family had been continuously searching for him. After Aditya's body was found in the well on Sunday morning, his family leveled serious allegations. They claim that the boy was kidnapped and murdered due to a previous dispute, and his body was later thrown into the well to destroy evidence.

Following the incident, the enraged family members and villagers immediately blocked the Arrah-Barhara road near Barka Lauhar village, demanding the arrest of the accused. During the protest, the crowd burned tires on the road and chanted slogans. This road blockade caused long queues of vehicles on both sides of the Arrah-Barhara road, bringing traffic to a complete standstill. Upon receiving information about the incident, Barhara Station House Officer Ravikant, along with police personnel, immediately reached the spot. Considering the sensitivity of the matter, he tried to pacify the agitated crowd and restore normalcy.
