A horrific incident occurred at Charbagh railway station where a 5-year-old Hindu boy was kidnapped, rapped, and murdered by a Muslim man identified as Ibrahim, a resident of Lakhimpur. The boy’s mother, who had arrived at the station with her son, was approached by Ibrahim when her child began crying. He pretended to comfort the child and offered food to the mother and son, which reportedly caused them to lose consciousness. Upon regaining consciousness, the woman discovered that both her child and Ibrahim were missing.
The mother immediately alerted the authorities, prompting a search that led to the discovery of her son’s body in a warehouse near the station. Investigations revealed that Ibrahim had sexually assaulted and killed the child. When apprehended by the police, Ibrahim reportedly made a chilling statement in front of the grieving mother, stating, “If your son was a Muslim, he would have been saved. He was a Hindu. We attack Hindus.” He then laughed, which caused the mother to faint in anguish.
Dharamvir Singh of the Government Railway Police (GRP) detailed how Ibrahim befriended the woman and her child, giving the boy biscuits and chips and playing with him to gain their trust. Surveillance footage from 40 cameras at the station showed Ibrahim carrying the child across a foot-overbridge to a warehouse. Evidence such as a jacket left at a condom rack with a mobile number in its pocket led the police to track and arrest Ibrahim.
The investigation revealed that Ibrahim had assaulted the boy in the warehouse, and when the child cried out in distress, he was murdered. Ibrahim was charged under sections of rape and murder, and he is currently in custody. The incident has sparked outrage and deep sorrow in the community.
