On 10th April 2024, Mohammed Zubair, a self styled fact-checker and one of the co-founders of Alt News, removed a post from X platform following a legal warning issued by Badaun Police regarding potentially misleading content. The post in question, authored by Zubair, sought to distort the narrative surrounding the recent tragic murder of two Hindu children in Badaun by individuals named Sajid and Javed.

Zubair attempted to insinuate that the true motive behind the crime had been obscured by the authorities, referencing an incident where the father of the victims allegedly set fire to a motorcycle. This post aimed to misrepresent the circumstances surrounding the heinous crime and stated, “Any update on the motive of the brutal double murder of minors in Badaun by Barber Sajid? The father of the kids on March 24 had set his bike on fire as the real reason behind the murder of the two children was not yet revealed by then.”

Responding to his X post, the Badaun Police warned, “In connection with the above case, necessary investigative action is being taken by the local police station Civil Lines. Please do not try to spoil the atmosphere by posting unnecessary things. Legal action will be taken against those who post unnecessary things after investigation.”

Following the homicide, some individuals asserted that the incident stemmed from animosity between the two families. However, the victim’s relatives subsequently contested these allegations, emphasizing that there were no underlying conflicts between them and that they maintained an amicable relationship. In discussions with the press, the father and brother of the deceased disclosed that they frequented Sajid’s salon, the perpetrator, for various grooming services such as haircuts.

On 19 March 2024, UP Police confronted and killed Sajid, the main suspect in the Badaun murder case involving the brutal slaying of two minors, Ayush (13) and Ahaan (6), by having their throats slit with a sharp weapon. The tragic incident unfolded in Baba Colony, where the victims’ mother operated a home-based beauty parlor, and she was alone with her children at the time of the attack. Sajid, aged 22 and the accused, owned a salon across from the beauty parlor, and after closing his shop early, he visited the victims’ residence around 7:30 PM, requesting tea from their mother.

While the mother was occupied with tea preparation, Sajid went upstairs where the children were playing and abruptly assaulted Vinod Singh’s three children with a shaving blade. Two children died instantly, while the third sustained injuries and was hospitalized. The incident occurred near the Mandi Police Station under Civil Lines Police Lines.

Upon hearing the mother’s screams, locals intervened, dragging her out of the house and shutting the door, but Sajid managed to escape. Enraged residents vandalized and set fire to Sajid’s salon and adjacent shops. Despite efforts by the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) to calm the situation, tensions escalated due to communal differences, prompting heavy police and paramilitary presence to maintain order. Eventually, Sajid was killed in a police encounter. SSP Priyadarshi ordered the closure of all markets in the city, leading to traffic congestion. The situation is now reportedly under control, with ongoing police monitoring of social media and a conducted flag march. Investigations revealed Sajid frequented the victims’ residence due to the proximity of his salon.

Police recovered a homemade pistol and cartridges during the encounter, and another suspect, apprehended under various charges, is being pursued, including the search for Javed, another suspect connected to the case.

On 19 March 2024, Uttar Pradesh Police encountered and killed Sajid, the primary suspect in the Badaun murder case, where two minor children, Ayush (13) and Ahaan (6), were brutally killed by slitting their throats with a sharp-edged weapon.

The incident occurred in Baba Colony, where the victims’ mother operated a beauty parlour from home. She was alone with her children at the time of the attack. Sajid (22), the accused, owned a salon opposite the beauty parlour. He closed his shop early and returned home. Around 7:30 PM, Sajid visited the residence of Vinod Singh, the father of the deceased children, and asked the victims’ mother to prepare tea.

While the mother was occupied with tea preparation, Sajid went upstairs where the children were playing. Suddenly, he attacked Vinod Singh’s three children with a shaving blade. Two of the children died instantly, while the third, Piyush (6), sustained injuries and was rushed to the hospital for treatment. The tragic incident occurred just a few meters away from Mandi Police Station under Civil Lines Police Lines.

Upon hearing the mother’s screams, locals swiftly dragged her out of the house and shut the door, though Sajid managed to flee. In a fit of rage, residents gathered in the vicinity and vandalized Sajid’s salon, setting it ablaze. Other adjacent shops fell victim to the furious crowd.

Despite attempts by the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) to pacify the crowd, tensions remained high as the communities belong to different faith, leading to the deployment of heavy police and paramilitary forces to quell any potential escalation. Reportedly, it was after this demonstration that Sajid was killed in an encounter. The SSP, Alok Priyadarshi, issued orders to close all markets in the city, causing traffic congestion on Majhiya road leading to the police station. Eventually, the crowd dispersed, though locals continued to demonstrate at the murder site.

SSP Priyadarshi assured that the situation is now under control, with no further issues in the city, and police are actively monitoring social media. A flag march was conducted by the police on 20 March 2024. Further inquiry revealed that Sajid frequented the victim’s residence as his salon was situated directly opposite.

OpIndia reported that police recovered a homemade 315 bore pistol, along with four spent cartridges and four live cartridges of the same caliber during an encounter on March 19th. Additionally, another suspect has been apprehended under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/25/27 of the Arms Act. It’s noteworthy that while one suspect, Sajid, was fatally shot during the encounter on Tuesday, authorities are actively conducting searches to apprehend another suspect named Javed.
