The Firozabad District and Sessions Court on Friday awarded the death sentence to Viraj, alias Jitendra Pathak, after convicting him for the brutal murder of an 18-month-old boy, Aarav, in a case that had sent shock waves across Uttar Pradesh in May.
The court delivered the sentence just 40 days after the incident, holding Viraj guilty of killing the toddler, whom he allegedly considered an obstacle to his relationship with the child’s mother, whom he wanted to marry.
A total of 13 witnesses testified for the prosecution, while one witness appeared on behalf of the defence. Based on the evidence and witness testimonies, the court awarded the death penalty to the convict.
The case relates to the killing of one-and-a-half-year-old Aarav in Yadav Colony of Shikohabad in Firozabad district on May 30.
According to police, Viraj took the child with him on the pretext of buying him a toffee before repeatedly slamming him onto the road, causing fatal injuries. The toddler was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
Investigators said the accused confessed during interrogation that he had committed the murder.
He claimed he was involved in a relationship with the child’s mother and alleged that she had been blackmailing him. Police said he believed the child was an obstacle to his relationship and intended marriage with the woman.
The child’s mother also alleged that Viraj wanted to marry her and viewed her son as a hurdle.

Aaftab Amin Poonawala — who chopped Shraddha Walkar into 35 pieces and stored them in a fridge — has been granted a court date cancellation so he can appear for his MA Sociology exam at Tihar Jail.
The trial has been dragging since 2023. Shraddha's father, who fought for justice, passed away in 2025 without seeing it delivered.
Aaftab is pursuing higher education. The case is nowhere near conclusion.
Nitin Gadkari's son is constantly being targeted for owning a factory manufacturing ethanol. Yes, he does, with capacity 135KLPD. But why does Sharad Pawar's grand-nephew Rohit Pawar, who owns a 600KLPD factory supplying ethanol for E20 fuel blending, never get mentioned?

Cancer patient was about to die. She pleaded. Her plea has been listed 57 times. The court has still not heard it. Teesta Setalvad was about to be jailed. She pleaded. Her plea was listed out of turn. The court heard it at midnight.
Cancer patient is dead. Teesta is alive.

Looting the country is one thing. Institutional collapse is another.
But the deepest damage is the poison they've injected into society, where even decent people feel compelled to side with the worst scum simply because they believe it's necessary for their own survival. People are willing to turn a blind eye on literally everything, and these guys have taken full advantage.
People have been made to feel that they are constantly in a "civilizational war". Funny part is that when it is all said and done, there may not be any civilization left to protect 😂
That will be Gobi's legacy.
