The case pertains of the kidnapping and murder of a 13-year-old son of a businessman in 1995. On January 20, the 13-year-old of a cement businessman in North East Delhi was kidnapped by 54-years-old Salim Ahmed. Khan was a martial arts instructor at the Ramjas School, where the deceased was a student. Khan then demanded a ransom of ₹30,000 from the businessman a day after the kidnap. The suspicion arose on Salim Khan after a neighbour saw the child leaving in a rickshaw with a tall boy namely “Masterji” around the time he was supposed to go to school. However, when Salim Khan was nabbed and questioned, he revealed that he had killed the child and dumped his body at a drain in Mustafabad. A co-accused, Anil, was also arrested in the case. Two years later, in August 1997, Salim and Anil were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.How Salim Khan travelled through Haryana and UP
The twist in the case occurred when Salim Khan appealed against the verdict of the lower court at the Delhi high court. As the appeal was pending before the court, Khan was granted bail in November 2000. However, he didn't surrender after the expiry of the bail. The conviction was also upheld by the Delhi high court in July 2011. After jumping bail, the accused remained absconding and remain hidden travelling through states, including Haryana.

It was also revealed that the Youtuber had declared himself dead in the eyes of law enforcement agencies. The police pursued the case and the details of the convict, including his old photograph and fingerprints, were collected from court records.
