Nearly two months after the police encounters that led to the deaths of Gulfam and Zeeshan, brothers from Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, their father, Buniyad Ali, expressed a desire to move on from the tragedy. The brothers were allegedly involved in the stabbing of YouTuber Salim Wastik, who was arrested recently for a separate murder case involving a 13-year-old boy. Buniyad stated, “We just want to move on. My sons are gone. There is no point in pricking my wound.” A family relative noted that the brothers did not have the opportunity to share their side of the story before their deaths, suggesting that a proper investigation might have revealed Wastik's alleged involvement in the earlier case sooner. The family is now focused on caring for Gulfam's two young children and considers the matter a closed chapter, leaving everything to fate.
