Others may be involved too. We need to know if my children were killed as part of a conspiracy. They would have killed others in the family too".

"I want a full investigation into this. What was the reason behind the murder of my children? I appeal to (Prime Minister Narendra) Modi ji and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath so that we know what happened," he said.

Just as my child was tortured and killed, in the same way, he will also be tortured. He (Sajid) came to our house at 06:30 pm and he immediately went to the terrace with a child. He just asked me for money.

My child was playing on the first floor, and seeing another child he also went to the terrace with him. We never talked to him. I just want to ask why he did this or if someone made him do it," she told news agency ANI.
