Lucknow: The accused Aamir had a disturbing and violent criminal history, which police describe as indicative of a “psychopathic mindset,” marked by brutality, repeated offences, and a complete disregard for human lives.Police records reveal that on Nov 11, 2021, Aamir, along with three associates, had murdered a man. A case was registered under Sections 302 (murder) and 201 (causing disappearance of evidence) of the IPC. Being a minor at that time, Aamir was produced before the Juvenile Justice Board, which on Dec 6, 2024, sentenced him to two years and 10 months of simple imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 1,500.Despite this, Amir’s criminal activities escalated after his release. On Aug 19, 2024, he allegedly raped a 55-year-old Dalit woman and attempted to strangulate her. He was booked under Sections of the BNS and the SC/ST Act. The case is under trial in a Pocso court. On Aug 21, 2024, Aamir had allegedly opened fire at a police team. In retaliatory action, he sustained a bullet injury in the leg. A separate case was registered under the Arms Act and BNS provisions. Investigators say his pattern of crimes—including murder, sexual violence against a Dalit woman, and armed confrontation with police—reflects a deeply entrenched criminal psyche.Officials believe Amir’s escalating brutality and lack of remorse point to a dangerous and unstable personality, making him a significant threat to public safety.Ambedkar Nagar SP, Prachi Singh, said Aamir was a ‘psychopath’. “We checked the records and found that he had raped the woman just because she had abused him and had murdered the man following a fallout over road rage, the SP added.Clinical psychologist Neetika Dixit said the accused’s pattern of behaviour reflects several red flags typically examined in criminal psychology. “The escalation of violence—from murder to sexual assault and then an armed attack on police—suggests increasing boldness and reduced inhibition. Repeated involvement in serious offences despite prior punishment may indicate diminished remorse or accountability.The close timing of these incidents points to impulsivity and poor behavioural control, while targeting a vulnerable victim, such as an elderly Dalit woman, reflects dominance-driven aggression,” she said, adding that such patterns may be consistent with strong antisocial or psychopathic traits, though a formal diagnosis would require detailed clinical evaluation.
