Who Was Sajid?

Sajid, aged 22, ran a barber shop near the residence of the victims in Baba Colony, Badaun. The victims, Ayush and Honey, aged 13 and 6 respectively, were the sons of Vinod Singh, a contractor, and Sangeeta, who owned a beauty parlour. On the fateful evening, Sajid entered their home while Vinod was away at the market and Sangeeta was at her parlour. The boys were left in the care of their paternal grandmother. Sajid, armed with a sharp-edged weapon, mercilessly attacked the boys, slitting their throats while they played with their brother Piyush, aged 8. Piyush managed to escape with minor injuries, alerting the family to the gruesome scene. Sajid’s subsequent encounter with the police ended in his death as he opened fire on the pursuing officers.

The Father’s Account and the FIR Claims

According to Vinod Singh’s account, Sajid had approached his wife, claiming he needed money for his wife’s impending childbirth. He then lured the boys to the terrace under the pretense of feeling unwell, where he and his brother Javed allegedly carried out the horrific act. The FIR filed by Vinod Singh further elucidated the chilling details of the incident, painting a picture of betrayal and brutality.

Unraveling the Motive Behind the Murders

The question that haunted the community was why Sajid would commit such a heinous act. According to Vinod Singh, there seemed to be no prior interaction or animosity between their families, leaving them bewildered by the motive behind the murders. However, locals suggested that Sajid had ongoing disputes with a neighbor’s family, hinting at a possible motive rooted in personal vendetta. The SSP, citing the victim’s family, revealed that Sajid had demanded money from Vinod Singh before the murders, adding another layer of complexity to the investigation.
