The day following a tragic double homicide that stirred tensions in Budaun, Uttar Pradesh, the brother of the accused appeared in a widely circulated video asserting his innocence. Subsequently, he turned himself in to authorities late last night.
Sajid, who operated a barber shop near the victims’ residence, perpetrated the brutal murder of two children and injured a third sibling on Tuesday, with the motive still unclear. Attempting to evade capture, he assaulted police officers but was fatally shot in an encounter. Javed, also implicated in the crime, had disappeared after the incident.
In a pre-arrest video, he explained fleeing to Delhi upon witnessing an enraged crowd in Budaun. However, upon arriving in Bareilly to surrender, locals apprehended him and handed him over to the authorities. In the video, Javed pleads his innocence, stating he only learned of his brother’s actions upon receiving calls, emphasizing his desire to cooperate with law enforcement.
Police have verified Javed’s arrest and are transporting him to Budaun for interrogation. Alok Priyadarshi, the Senior Superintendent of Police in Budaun, confirmed Javed’s surrender and indicated that he would be questioned upon arrival.
