In a shocking development on Thursday, Subhash Batham, the murder accused, had taken 23 children hostage after taking them to his home on the pretext of his daughter’s birthday celebrations. He was shot dead by the Uttar Pradesh Police in an operation that lasted around nine hours.
According to reports, the locals broke open the gates of the murder accused’s house using bricks and hammers, helping the police enter the house. In the exchange of fire that followed, while the hostage taker was killed, two policemen were also injured.
