According to the neighbors, on Tuesday, Vinod’s wife Sangeeta was at home with all three children when Javed and Sajid came to Vinod’s house in the evening and went straight to the second floor of the house and started attacking Vinod’s sons Ayush, Piyush, and Honey with razors. Sangeeta was downstairs and upon hearing the screams of the children, people rushed upstairs, but the accused had fled from the crime scene.
