A tragic incident unfolded in Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh following an eight-hour siege where a man named Arvind Singh shot dead his wife Babita, two priests, and his son. The incident occurred during a ceremony organised following his brother's demise. Upon returning home, the accused reportedly questioned the priests about their Aadhaar cards before opening fire. While two priests managed to flee, two others along with Arvind's wife were killed on the spot. Arvind subsequently held his three children hostage inside a room. Police personnel and family members attempted to negotiate his surrender, but Arvind issued death threats, shot his son, and opened indiscriminate fire on the police. In retaliatory firing conducted for self-defence and child rescue, Arvind was injured and later declared dead at the hospital alongside his son. Police successfully rescued two daughters from the residence and rushed them to the hospital.

00:00I now take you to Uttar Pradesh. Was this superstition or was this a mental health issue?
00:05But there was a shootout in Azamgarh after an eight-hour siege by a man.
00:10A man's brother passed away. A ceremony was organized after his death.
00:15Now this man killed four people, including two priests who were there at his house for the ceremony.
00:24Who did he kill then? This man accused Arvind. First killed four people, including two priests and his wife Babitha.
00:32And then after that, he held hostage his own three children.
00:38That is when the police came. They tried to convince him to release the children and come out of the
00:44house.
00:44That did not happen. That's the image of the two priests who were shot dead by Arvind.
00:50There were in fact four priests in total. Two of them managed to flee.
00:55Arvind Singh then took his three children hostage, killed one of them also while the encounter was on.
01:01He and his child were even rushed to the hospital. The child has been declared dead.
01:07There are two daughters as well, we are informed, who were rescued eventually and then have been rushed to the
01:14hospital.
01:14But what we have is a preliminary information, eventually a dispute that had broken out after the accused returned home
01:19from the market and questioning the priests.
01:23He asked the priests at the ceremony about the Aadhaar card.
01:28So what we have done is we have created this illustration for you to understand.
01:31After the death of ceremony was on, Arvind Singh arrives, questions the presence of the priests.
01:37Two priests flee. Two of them are shot dead and his wife included.
01:41Something has made him extremely angry about the ceremony.
01:45The cops arrive. This is a recreation illustration.
01:48The cops arrive. They try to convince him to leave.
01:51He has held three children hostage. He has shot that one already.
01:56Eventually, after an eight-hour siege, the police have managed to rescue at least two children.
02:02But in the encounter, Arvind Singh was also shot and declared dead by the hospital authorities.
02:10But what a terrible tragedy had taken place.
02:13What happened? What led to the case? No one has a clarity on this.
02:16But in Aasamgarh, in the small hamlet, clearly something went terribly wrong.
02:21Was it a religious practice? Was it a mental health issue?
02:23What made him angry? Asking priests about Aadhaar cards.
02:26Asking why are they there for the ceremony while his own brother had passed away for which the ceremony was
02:30being organized.
02:31Kills the wife, the priest, one son, two children hostage, eventually dying in a shootout with the police after he
02:39refused to release the children.
02:42We hope that there will be some clarity that will come in on this story as well.
03:15In 2012, the ROP was forced to take care of the victims of the victims.
03:21The ROP was forced to kill the police and the victims to kill the victims.
03:28In this time, the ROP also killed his son.
03:35The police went into the door and went into the door.
03:39The ROP started firing on the police.
03:43The police gave him a fire in the air.
03:48When he had a fire in the air,
03:50the police ran a gun for their children and their children.
03:56The ROP was forced to take care of the hospital.
03:59The ROP was forced to take care of his son and his son.
04:05There was no need to do that.
04:36The ROP was forced to be a fire in the air.
04:37The ROP was forced to kill the victims.
04:37The ROP was forced to kill the victims.
04:42So a quick timeline of what happened. Remember, there was a seven-hour siege when eventually the cops had to
04:51resort to a shootout because two children's lives were at stake.
04:54The man on your screens, Arvind Singh, had already killed two priests out of four. Two managed to flee and
05:00escape and save their life.
05:01Kills his wife. Then during the shootout encounter, kills his son as well, refusing to leave.
05:08Something had clearly gone wrong with him terribly and was busy either asking for other cards, shooting them dead, and
05:15managed to have an access to the pistol.
05:17This happened in Azamgarh. Eventually the cops had to take an extreme action and then they shot him.
05:23He was rushed to the hospital but declared that two children remaining have been rescued and sent to the hospital.
05:28And that incident happening in Azamgarh, it was a big test for the cops also to ensure at least the
05:33children survived.
