Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of All India Majili-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), has raised concerns about the legality of the encounter that led to the death of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad's son Asad at the hands of the Uttar Pradesh Police. Owaisi stated that while an inquiry into the killing would follow the Supreme Court's guidelines, the alleged encounter should not have taken place in the first place. He emphasized the need to uphold the rule of law and ensure justice for all, regardless of their background. The statement was made by Owaisi on Friday.
