[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

In Azamgarh district of Uttar Pradesh, a seven-year-old Muslim boy, S*, was murdered, his body found packed in a sack and hung on a wire near a house gate, sparking outrage in the area. The child, son of Mukarram Ali from Pathan Tola under Sidhari police station, had gone missing earlier, prompting his family to alert the police. The family alleged that a young man Sandeep Nigam alias Mantu was behind the murder, claiming that the accused and his family were responsible.

S’s mother, overwhelmed with grief, appealed for justice, saying, “My son always said that when he grows up, he would serve the country and become a soldier. Who will fulfill his dreams now? I urge the government to take strict action against the murderer and his family.”

After the discovery of the body, a large crowd gathered, and angry residents blocked the road in protest. Police and PAC forces from five stations were deployed to calm the situation. The child’s body was sent for post-mortem.

Dr. Anil Kumar, SP Azamgarh, said, “A day earlier, we received information about the missing child. Forensic and dog squad teams were sent to the site along with the police and PAC. A case has been registered based on the family’s complaint, and the investigation is ongoing. The accused will be arrested soon.”

So you assume it was done by radical Hindus?
The boy was murdered and put in a bag. Good chance the culprit is someone the family already knows. It does not matter to you. You cannot wait until the investigation completes. Shooting from the hip as usual.

7-year-old Muslim boy brutally murdered, body found stuffed inside bag in UP's Azamgarh; neighbours arrested​

The boy went missing on Wednesday after attending tuition classes and was reportedly last seen with one of the accused, identified as Shailendra Kumar Nigam, also known as Mantu.

A 7-year-old Muslim boy named Shahzeb was found brutally murdered near his home, allegedly by his neighbours in the Sidhari town of UP's Azamgarh on Thursday.

The boy went missing on Wednesday after attending tuition classes and was reportedly last seen with one of the accused, identified as Shailendra Kumar Nigam, also known as Mantu.

According to police, the accused had taken the child on the pretext of an outing while he was playing on a swing from where he went missing.

A missing complaint was filed on Wednesday evening by the child's family at the Sidhari Police Station, and a case was registered under Section 137(2) BNS.

On Thursday morning, the boy's severely mutilated body was found stuffed inside a gunny bag and hanging from a neighbour's gate in Pathani Tola, according to police officials.

Later on Thursday, Shailendra Kumar Nigam and another man identified as Raja Nigam were arrested in a joint operation by Siddharth and Mubarakpur police while allegedly attempting to flee near the dental college in Itoura. The duo allegedly fired at the officers prompting the police to open retaliatory fire, resulting in injuries for both the accused.

Police recovered a .315 bore pistol, two live cartridges, and two empty cartridges from the possession of Shailendra Kumar Nigam. A .315 bore pistol, one live cartridge, and an empty cartridge were recovered from the co-accused Raja Nigam.

Family members of the child have alleged that Shailendra Kumar Nigam, along with his family, murdered the boy over an old enmity and business rivalry connected to their hardware shop. However, the police is yet to confirm the motive behind the brutal murder.

According to Shahzeb’s father, Saheb Alam, their family maintained good relations with Nigam and his family.

"I don’t know why they did this to us,” Alam was quoted as saying by Maktoob Media.

Sources said that both the accused had kept visiting the boy's house to inquire if he was found after police launched a search operation on Wednesday.

The killing has sparked nationwide outrage with Congress leader Pawan Khera condemning it as a consequence of normalising "hateful rhetoric."

"What a diseased, rotten society we have been reduced to that a Hindu neighbour can murder a seven-year-old muslim boy, stuff his dead body into a gunny bag and hang him from a gate just so he could teach a lesson to the ‘Mullahs.’ Repeat this in your heads - 7 year old child," Khera wrote in post on X.

"This is what hateful rhetoric does - it normalises hatred, violence & cruelty. This is not a momentary lapse in humanity. It is terror, plain and deliberate - rehearsed in cruelty, protected by silence, legitimised by impunity," he said.

I know situation in India is terrible, but I didn't know it was so bad that a kid murdered and hung on neighbours door is not newsworthy.

That is quite sad man.
