The body was traced after three people, including a madrasa teacher, were arrested and they confessed that they killed Sufiyan and dumped his body in Yamuna river, Circle Officer Pradeep Kumar said.
Kumar said old enmity over some monetary issue was stated to be the reason behind the murder of the madrasa head.
