In a horrifying incident that shook the community, two children, Ayush (13) and Honey (6), were brutally murdered allegedly by Sajid, a local barber, in Baba Colony, Badaun, Uttar Pradesh, on Tuesday evening. The victims, innocently playing at their residence, fell victim to a gruesome attack, leaving the neighborhood in shock and disbelief.

Sajid, a 22-year-old barber whose shop is situated near the boys’ residence, reportedly entered the house around 7:30 pm. With the boys’ father away at the market and their mother occupied at her beauty parlour, the assailant seized the opportunity to perpetrate his heinous act. Armed with a sharp-edged weapon, he mercilessly attacked Ayush and Honey, slashing their throats in a chilling display of violence.

The lone survivor, Piyush (8), managed to escape with minor injuries and raised the alarm, alerting the family to the unfolding tragedy. Upon learning of the incident, law enforcement swiftly launched a pursuit to apprehend the perpetrator. Sajid, refusing to surrender, engaged in a shootout with the police and was fatally wounded in the ensuing encounter, as reported by UP Director General of Police Prashant Kumar.

The motive behind Sajid’s barbaric act remains shrouded in mystery. According to the FIR filed by the father of the deceased, Sajid allegedly requested money from the victims’ mother under the pretext of financial strain due to his wife’s impending childbirth. However, the exact reason for his gruesome actions remains unclear, leaving the community bewildered and searching for answers.

Vinod Singh, the grieving father, expressed bewilderment over the incident, stating that he had no prior interaction with the accused and was unaware of any motives behind the brutal attack. Locals, however, suggest longstanding disputes between the accused and neighboring families, hinting at potential underlying tensions.

As investigations unfold to unravel the circumstances leading to the tragedy, heavy police presence has been deployed in Baba Colony to maintain order amidst simmering tensions. Badaun District Magistrate Manoj Kumar urged residents to remain calm as the community grapples with the aftermath of the horrific double murder.
