Shabad

A man accused in a POCSO case went on a stabbing spree in Shabad, killing six people, including his wife, two young sons, and three members of the complainant’s family, before fleeing. The incident occurred while the man was out on bail.

Residents of Shabad's farming villages awoke to flashing police lights, sealed homes, and grieving families, raising questions about whether prompt police action could have prevented the killings.
