When the boys didn’t come home as they had promised, their father Babu Bhai, got worried. He decided to check with the police and to file a missing person’s complaint the following day. He took his 22-year-old daughter Nagma with him. “I took her with me because she is like my son,” he told VICE. “I stay unwell, and she handles all my business.” But the father-daughter duo were sent from one police station in Dayalpur to another in Gokulpuri. The Investigating Officer there said that he didn’t know anything about the missing men. Then they were sent to another department in Gokulpuri station. Two women officers found them waiting, and especially took note of young Nagma. They took pity on her. “They showed us three photos,” said Nagma. “I saw them and knew that two of those three photos were of my brothers. Aamir bhai’s face was bloated and blackened. Hashim’s face was bloated as well and was deathly white.” The cops, however, refused to give them any more information—they were not even told where the bodies were. In fact, the police are yet to classify the deaths as murders. They have told Babu Bhai that it was an accident. But Babu Bhai knows that the innumerable injuries on his sons’ bodies tell a different, gory tale.
