According to the deceased's brother Akram, "Around 8.30 pm Shairuddin received a call from Aamir that he is coming to Gokalpuri from Ghaziabad to meet him. Shairuddin warned him against coming to the riot-hit area."
Aamir worked as a driver in Ghaziabad and Hashim, a school dropout, assisted him.
"Despite being warned, Aamir insisted on visiting home, saying he knows the area well and will manage to reach home safely," Akram told ETV Bharat.
That was the last time the family heard from the two brothers. At 10 pm, when the two bothers did not reach home, the family made calls to Aamir's mobile phone number, but it was not reachable.
