A horrific incident emerged from Uttar Pradesh, in which a man hacked two boys to death in Budaun Baba Colony on Tuesday and critically injured a third with an axe.

Later, the accused was killed during a police encounter.
“The man from the salon had arrived here. He took my brothers upstairs; I’m not sure why he killed them. He attempted to attack me as well, but I pushed away his knife, pushed him away, and ran down,” the surviving brother of the two deceased children and an eyewitness to the incident told The Ultimate News.
“I suffered injuries in my hand and head…,” he went on to say.
