Muzaffarnagar Tragedy: Mother Murders Her Two Children to Pursue Love Affair, Leaves Community in Shock
In a heart-wrenching and deeply disturbing case from Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar district, a 24-year-old woman has been arrested for allegedly poisoning and killing her two innocent children in a bid to clear the path for a new life with her lover.
The incident has left the local community shaken and struggling to comprehend the horror of a mother turning against her flesh and blood.
The accused, Muskan, a resident of Rodkali village, has confessed to murdering her five-year-old son Arhan and one-year-old daughter Enaya, believing they stood in the way of her future with her paramour, Junaid, with whom she had been involved in a long-standing extramarital affair.
The children’s lifeless bodies were discovered under suspicious circumstances inside their home on Thursday, triggering a swift and intense police investigation.
Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Sanjay Kumar confirmed the worst fears: the deaths were not accidental—they were coldly calculated and premeditated.
“During interrogation, Muskan admitted to committing the unthinkable,” SSP Kumar said, his voice laced with disbelief. “She confessed that she gave poison to her children because she saw them as an obstacle to her love story.
She wanted to start a new life with her lover and was even planning a ‘honeymoon’ with him after eliminating her children.”
The man at the center of this harrowing case, Junaid, is currently on the run. Police have launched a full-scale manhunt to apprehend him.
Meanwhile, the children’s father, Waseem, who had been working in Chandigarh, was unaware that his world would be torn apart in his absence.
The tragedy has not only devastated the family but also sent shockwaves through the village.
Neighbors and relatives are in utter disbelief, unable to fathom how a mother’s heart could turn so cold, how love could be so twisted that it demanded the lives of two innocent souls.
Locals described Arhan as a playful little boy who loved to run through the lanes of the village, while baby Enaya had only just begun to toddle, her giggles still echoing in the minds of those who knew her.
Their sudden and brutal loss has left a void that can never be filled.
“This is not just a crime; it’s a tragedy of unimaginable proportions,” said one tearful resident. “They were just babies. They deserved love, not betrayal.”
The case has reignited conversations about emotional health, domestic dynamics, and the dangers of unchecked obsession.
While legal proceedings will now follow their course, the emotional scars left behind—on the family, the community, and the collective conscience—will take far longer to heal.
As Muskan sits in custody and Junaid remains on the run, one painful question hangs in the air: What kind of love demands the sacrifice of a mother’s children?
