Man beaten to death for complaining about neighbour’s gambling activities in UP’s Budaun • Nov. 10, 2024, 10:53 PM ET (The Indian Express)

Budaun, city, north-central Uttar Pradesh state, northern India. It lies near the Sot River, a tributary of the Ganges (Ganga) River, about 25 miles (40 km) southwest of Bareilly.

Budaun is said to have been founded about 905 ce by Buddh, a Hindu raja. In the 13th century it was an important frontier outpost of the Muslim sultanate of Delhi. The community remained the seat of a provincial governorship until replaced by Bareilly in 1657. Budaun became a district headquarters in 1838.

The city is situated on a major road and rail line, and it is primarily an agricultural trade centre, with some small industries. Budaun contains the Jāmiʿ Masjid, or Great Mosque, built in 1223 and restored in the 14th, 16th, and 19th centuries. There is also a ruined fort. The surrounding area’s crops include rice, wheat, barley, millet, and gram (chickpeas). Pop. (2001) 148,029; (2011) 159,285.
