The village where Diwakar´s body was found is about 50 kilometers south-west of Sunauli border.
The Nepal police team led by inspector Pravin Dhital had recovered Diwakar´s body from a pit. Indian police personnel and local villagers had helped the Nepal police team recover the dead body.
Diwakar was abducted while returning from Nepal Nalanda Higher Secondary School in Bhairahawa on June 5 last year. He was a grade two student.
Diwakar´s father Parshuram Yadav, who is a local businessman, had been unable to free his son even after paying Rs 1.1 million to two different persons.
In last August, Kudrat Musalman, a resident of Farena in Rupandehi district, took Rs 1 million from Parshuram promising to get Diwakar released. Kudrat had claimed to have identified the place where Diwakar was held hostage by the kidnappers. He has gone out of contact ever since.
Similarly, Arman Musalman, who hails from Marchbar area in Rupandehi, demanded Rs 500,000 from Parshuram making the same promise.
Already stung by Kudrat´s cheating, Parshuram gave Arman only Rs 100,000, promising to give Rs 400,000 only after Diwakar was released. However, Arman also fled the village after taking the money. Arman was later arrested by the police from Pipraiya village on September 1.
Parshuram, who himself frequented India, spent about Rs 1 million more in mobilizing different persons to search for his abducted son.
