After two children were killed in their home in Uttar Pradesh's Budaun on Tuesday (19 March), an FIR was registered on the complaint of the deceased's father.

According to the FIR, the accused Sajid, who was killed in an encounter, told the children's mother that he wanted money as his wife was about to deliver a child.

When she went inside to take money, he said that he was feeling unwell and wanted to go for a walk on the terrace and took the two minor boys with him.

He also called his brother Javed to the terrace. When the victims' mother returned, she saw Sajid and Javed with a knife in their hands.

"Sajid also tried to attack my surviving son and he sustained injuries. Both were running away and Sajid told my wife that today he had completed his work," the FIR reads.

"I don't know why he killed them. He tried to attack me too, but I pushed away his knife, pushed him away and ran down. I suffered injuries in my hand and head," the surviving boy said.

Budaun SSP Alok Priyadarshi narrated the incident when the accused Sajid entered the house yesterday at around 7:30 pm and went to the terrace where the children were playing.

The accused ran a barber shop in front of the children's residence. He had demanded Rs 5,000 from the children's mother but murdered the two boys despite his demand being accepted.

"Police teams swung into action when they got to know that the accused had escaped... The accused fired at the police and was killed in retaliatory fire," Priyadarshi said.

Meanwhile, the police is searching for another accused Javed and has assured that he will be arrested soon. Police officers and security personnel also conducted flag march in the city.
