Atiq Ahmed Death News: Mafia Brothers Buried in UP’s Prayagraj in Presence of Family Members

All three assailants who killed gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf have been sent to high-security Naini Central Jail in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, according to News18 Hindi.

Slain gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad had five sons, but only four are alive after his son Asad was killed in an encounter in Jhansi earlier this week. The eldest son, Umar, is imprisoned in a jail in Lucknow. The second son, Ali, is also incarcerated in the Naini Central Jail, but in different cases. The fourth son, Ahjam, and the youngest son, Aban, are housed in a juvenile home in Prayagraj.

According to PTI news agency, Atiq Ahmad’s wife Shaista Praveen, an absconding accused in the Umesh Pal murder case, did not turn up for her husband’s burial. The burial proceedings at the graveyard were held under tight security measures with senior officials of the administration and police at the site. Rapid action force personnel were also deployed to ensure law and order in the area. The burial site was cordoned off, and media personnel were prohibited from entering. Lighting arrangements were made for the funeral proceedings.

Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel slammed the law and order situation in Bharatiya Janata Party-ruled Uttar Pradesh. “There is no law and order in Uttar Pradesh. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath claims criminals have left the state whereas they are killing people while sitting in jails. Their (BJP government) claim about making UP crime free are bogus,” Baghel said.
