However, soon the family found the boy's body in a sugarcane field in the village.
Circle Officer Navina Shukla told PTI that police were analysing the ransom letter.
The SSP said the victim's family members have alleged that the boy was murdered "intentionally".

Police have detained four people, two of them women, in the matter for interrogation, he said.
