Police fan out in tense Badaun, but motive for killings unclear

Hindustan Times  

More than 24 hours after the sensational murders of two minor brothers in Budaun in Uttar Pradesh, police on Wednesday were yet to establish a clear motive for what they suspected could be a hate crime, even as officers fanned out across the district to snuff out communal tensions. He said the minor brothers’ father, Vinod Kumar Singh, had mentioned in his complaint that Sajid told his wife Sangeeta that he had “completed his work” after slitting the throats of the two children. “Sajid and his brother Javed ran a barber shop across the victims’ house in Baba Colony of the city, and knew the family,” he added. Another police official privy to the investigation said Sajid’s wife Sana denied that she was pregnant and had any knowledge of the incident. Some locals claimed that Sajid was, in fact, caught by the crowd gathered outside the victims’ house and handed over to police, who staged an “encounter”.
