Atiq Ahmed shootout: Rashid Alvi labels shootout as ‘conspiracy’, demands UP CM’s resignation

Slamming the law and order situation of Uttar Pradesh over the Atiq Ahmed shootout, Congress leader Rashid Alvi on April 15 in Delhi labeled the whole incident as a ‘conspiracy’ and said that UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath should resign. He further demanded a thorough probe and judicial inquiry into the matter as he recalled the nature of the incident that happened amid a heavy police security. “This shows the law and order situation of UP. This looks like a big conspiracy. There must be thorough probe and judicial inquiry into this and UP CM must resign,” Alvi said. Mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed were shot dead on April 15. The mafia-turned-politician and his brother were being taken for a medical in Prayagraj. The UP Police are carrying flag marches in several parts of the state to maintain the situation in UP. Meanwhile, Section 144 has been imposed in all the districts of the state.
