The next day, Amir and his three minor aides took him along with them on the pretext of joining them in a fight with some persons in return of Rs 100.
After killing the teenager, the suspects allegedly tried to remove his testicles but failed three times. When they could not extract the organs, Amir contacted Joheb who explained the procedure through a video call.
