Kolkata, Jan 8 (IBNS): Police on Saturday booked a middle-aged man for allegedly murdering his 12-year-old stepson and dumping his body on railway tracks in West Bengal's Hooghly district, reports said.

According to reports, sixth standard student of Chinsura Ramkrishna Vidyapith- Soumyajit Das, who went missing since Friday late evening, was found dead beside railway tracks between Chinsura and Hooghly railway stations on Saturday.

Basing on a complaint lodged by boy's mother, police arrested his stepfather- Arabinda Tanti.
