Amarjeet’s poor dad and mom had been comfortable once they had been blessed with a son. They thought he would reside a optimistic life and unfold the sunshine of affection and pleasure wherever he went. Instead, he had the other impact on the individuals. He extinguished the sunshine from their lives!

“I want new toys,” he as soon as requested his mom Parul. His mom hugged him and replied, “Beta, we are poor. We cannot afford new toys.” Amarjeet pushed his mom away and sulked. He was a really temperamental boy, usually throwing tantrums and being short-tempered. As he was the one son, his mom doted on him. Every day she would put a giant fats dot of black kajal on the facet of his brow saying “Kisika nazar naa lagay tujhay!”

She wished to guard him from the evils and introduced an amulet to put on from the Hanuman temple.

“This will protect you from the evils of the world. A gift from Lord Hanuman himself for you!” she mentioned as she tied the amulet / taweez round his higher arm. Amarjeet smiled as he checked out his new current.
Little did she know that the individuals would want amulets to guard themselves from this younger boy.

THE BIRTH OF A MONSTER

“Why don’t you come and play with us?” Raju requested Amarjeet whereas he was sitting on the steps of his mud hut.

“I don’t want to,” Amarjeet mentioned softly to a neighbourhood boy.

“Why have you stopped playing with us? Are we, not your friends?” Shankar, one other boy, spoke up.

“Let’s go for a swim in the pond,” Raju tried once more to get his buddy to return with them.

“Nooo,” Amarjeet shouted, scaring his two mates away. They had by no means seen Amarjeet so offended and ran away from there.

Soon his dad and mom additionally observed that Amarjeet had turn out to be quiet, seated in a single place and watching nothing. He spoke much less, and he most well-liked being alone.

THE FIRST MURDER

Amarjeet was seven years outdated when his aunt Meena came around them.

“What is it?” Parul requested.

“My husband and I am moving to the city and will be away for a month. Can you please keep my 6-month-old son with you?” Meena requested.

“For a whole month?” Parul exclaimed.

“I have found work as a domestic help in Patna, and I will be busy there. I need someone to look after my son?” Meena mentioned.

Parul instructed her sister she couldn’t feed extra mouths as a consequence of monetary struggles. Meena promised to ship a portion of her first wage to her sister for the kid’s wants. Eventually, Parul had no selection however to take custody of the kid.

Everything appeared to be going fantastic till the day she needed to go to the bazaar and go away the kid within the custody of Amarjeet.

As quickly as his mom left, Amarjeet began pinching the kid and loved inflicting ache on his little brother. The youngster awakened from his sleep and began crying.

When his dad and mom thrashed him and requested why he killed her, Amarjeet solely uttered three phrases, “Just like that,” and smiled just like the satan.

Even after committing such brutal crimes, his dad and mom did not heed their neighbour’s recommendation to take him to a police station. Everybody was left surprised when Amarjeet requested “What wrong have I done in killing her?”

Amarjeet felt no regret or guilt and loved the pleasure of committing the crime.

THE DEMON STRIKES AGAIN
