Amidst the environs of Badaun in Uttar Pradesh, a distressing event unfolded as a barber perpetrated the ruthless slaying of two juveniles, an act that ultimately led to his own demise at the hands of law enforcement officers. The grim incident transpired within the precincts of Baba Colony, where the innocent youngsters engaged in playful endeavors upon the rooftop of a residential edifice.
A somber narrative was recounted by Bareilly’s Inspector-General of Police, Rakesh Kumar, as he delineated the unfolding of events: “This twilight bore witness to a lamentable episode wherein two innocent souls met their untimely demise. Upon receiving the distress call, law enforcement swiftly mobilized, prompting the assailant to attempt an escape. A skirmish ensued, culminating in the assailant’s fatal demise amidst retaliatory gunfire. His life was extinguished on the very spot where he committed his heinous deeds. The investigative machinery is now in motion, delving into the depths of this perplexing case.”
According to the Inspector-General, the victims, innocently frolicking upon the rooftop, fell prey to the nefarious designs of the culprit, who, after a period of observation, ascended to their domain and callously ended their lives by means of a sharp-edged instrument. The malefactor, identified as Sajid, aged between 25-30, operated a grooming establishment in close proximity, approximately 150 meters distant from the precincts of Chowki Mandi Committee of Police Station Civil Line area.
The dual fatalities elicited a wave of shock and indignation among the local populace, who vented their fury by incinerating the establishment belonging to the perpetrator. Concurrently, law enforcement agencies launched an extensive manhunt, culminating in the demise of the fugitive, Sajid, at their hands.
Subsequent police inquiries uncovered a troubling association between the accused and the victims’ household, with revelations surfacing that the former frequented the latter’s abode on numerous occasions. On the day in question, under the pretext of a headache, the perpetrator sought refuge within the victims’ residence, soliciting a monetary sum from the children’s mother purportedly for the welfare of his spouse.
However, the tranquility of the household was shattered as the assailant ascended to the rooftop, where he perpetrated the ghastly deed, leaving two innocents lifeless and a third grievously wounded in his wake. Testimony provided by the children’s mother implicates the accused’s sibling, Javed, who purportedly loitered outside the premises during the commission of the crime. Upon the grandmother’s outcry, the malefactor hastily absconded from the scene, leaving a trail of dread in his wake.
In light of these developments, law enforcement authorities have designated Javed as a co-conspirator, who currently remains at large.
In response to the volatile situation, a significant contingent of law enforcement personnel has been deployed to the environs of Baba Colony, adjacent to the Mandi Samiti outpost, in anticipation of potential unrest precipitated by the abhorrent dual homicide. Badaun’s District Magistrate, Manoj Kumar, issued a plea for calm, acknowledging the understandable perturbation among the populace.
“This evening bore witness to a tragic intrusion within the confines of Baba Colony, adjacent to the Mandi Samiti police outpost, resulting in the untimely demise of two tender souls. Understandably, emotions ran high in the aftermath of this heinous act. However, I implore the community to maintain composure amidst these tumultuous times. The mortal remains of the victims have been entrusted to the coroner’s custody for forensic examination. Rest assured, a meticulous investigation shall ensue, endeavoring to unearth the elusive motives behind this grave transgression,” affirmed Kumar, the District Magistrate.
When pressed for insights into the underlying motives, Kumar maintained a stoic demeanor, acknowledging the paucity of clarity surrounding the malefactor’s motivations. “The underlying impetus remains shrouded in obscurity, awaiting illumination through the meticulous processes of investigation,” he affirmed.
