He was not present when the teenager was killed but allegedly directed the group over a video call.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Two failed attempts before murder<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>Police said the group first tried to lure a boy with an offer of Rs 100 to help in a fight, but he did not turn up. <!-- -->In the second attempt, another boy fought back and escaped, leading to registration of an attempt-to-murder case.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>On August 6, two minors allegedly approached the 16-year-old at Iqbal Maidan and lured him away on the pretext of helping in a fight near Khatlapura.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/><span class=\"strong\" data-ua-type=\"1\" onclick=\"stpPgtnAndPrvntDefault(event)\">Teenager stabbed, body parts removed<\/span><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The group allegedly took the boy towards Dhobi Ghat, where he was stabbed to death and his testicles removed with a blade.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"18\"\/>The victim sold pens and keyrings around Iqbal Maidan and Moti Masjid, police said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"20\"\/>His decomposed body was recovered from Lower Lake near Dhobi Ghat on August 10.
