A day after a double murder sparked tension in Uttar Pradesh’s Budaun, the accused’s brother recorded a video claiming innocence and surrendered before the cops last night.

Sajid, who ran a barber shop near the victims’ house, killed two brothers and injured their third sibling on Tuesday, in a gruesome murder for which the motive remains unclear. He also attacked cops while fleeing and was shot dead in an encounter.

His brother Javed, named as an accused in the murders, had gone missing after the incident.

“Sajid’s brother Javed, the second accused in the murder case, surrendered before cops in Bareilly and also made a viral video. Our team is now bringing him for questioning,” said Alok Priyadarshi, Senior Superintendent of Police, Budaun.
