KANPUR: When all attempts to trace the missing six-year-old nephew of Unnao rape victim, who died last December after being set ablaze by upper caste men, failed, the Unnao Police have announced a reward of Rs 1 lakh to anyone giving information about the missing boy. It has been 10 days since the boy had gone missing on October 2 evening.
Inspector Bihar police station Santosh Kumar Singh said the child, son of the deceased rape victim’s brother, had gone missing under mysterious circumstances from his aunt's house on October 2 evening.

He said an FIR was lodged the same day under relevant sections of the IPC and nearly 14 police teams are working to recover the missing child.
Singh further said that the reward of Rs1lakh has been announced after seeking permission of senior officials. The identity of the informer would be kept secret, he said.
To recall, IG (Lucknow range) Lakshmi Singh on October 3 had suspended three cops deployed to secure the family members of the Unnao rape victim in this regard.
The boy's aunt (the rape victim) was set ablaze on December 5, 2019.
Police said, “Going by the clues, searches have been intensified in the neighbouring Rae Bareli district to trace the six-year-old child.The family of the child had lodged a complaint against five people — Capt Bajpai, Saroj Trivedi, Anita, Sundara Lodh and Harshit Bajpai — all of the same village and related to the accused Shubham and
Shivam Trivedi, Harishankar, Umesh and Ram Kishore, who had allegedly poured petrol on the rape survivor and set her ablaze to prevent her from going to Baiswara railway station where she was supposed to board a train for Rae Bareli to meet her advocate.”
SP Unnao, Sureshrao A Kulkarni, however, said, “Five accused are likely to undergo a narco test. Besides, a dog squad has also been pressed into service in the village. Fourteen teams under the supervision of ASP Vinod Kumar Pandey are working round the clock to recover the missing child.”
Family members of the boy, meanwhile, organised a ‘hawan’ for his safe recovery.
