BJP leader and Former DGP of Uttar Pradesh Brij Lal took a jibe at gangster-turned-politician Atique Ahmed before the hearing in Umesh Pal kidnapping case. While speaking to ANI, he said, “From the past 44 years, Atique has been accused in more than 100 cases. Now there is no escape for him. Today, the court will announce its verdict and we believe that the court will punish Atique and his brother. The Yogi Government will punish all the mafias who gained power during Samajwadi Party’s rule in Uttar Pradesh.”
