Atiq Murder News Today

The plea, filed by advocate Vishal Tiwari, has also sought an inquiry into the 183 encounters that have taken place in Uttar Pradesh since 2017.

As the police are on the lookout for Shaista Parveen, reports suggest that locating her may be a difficult task at present. Shaista will be following the ritual of Iddah after the death of her husband and no one will be allowed to meet her during this time

Uttar Pradesh government has suspended five police personnel, including Shahganj police station officer (SO) Ashwani Kumar Singh, for dereliction of duty in the murder of gangster brothers Atiq and Ashraf Ahmed in Prayagraj.

The fact that the three small-time criminals get access to Turkish-made pistols, each costing around Rs 6 lakh a piece, raises serious questions. The common link between the three or the missing handler acted as their facilitator, motivator and logistics provider

Atiq Ahmed Killing: The Supreme Court today agreed to hear a petition seeking an independent probe into the killings of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf.

The letters in question reportedly contain the name of a high-ranking police official, who had allegedly threatened Ashraf to finish him on his next visit to Prayagraj.

Atiqs wife Shaista Praveen, an absconding accused in the Umesh Pal murder case, did not turn up for her husbands burial.

Prayagraj was where Atiq lived by the gun and died by it. It was his stomping ground for decades, where he was the last word in muscle power and politics.

In the aftermath of the killings of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed, Asaduddin Owaisi took to Twitter and said, "Atiq and his brother were in police custody. He was handcuffed. JSR slogans were also raised. The killing of both is the failure of Yogi's law and order system. Those celebrating encounter Raj are also responsible for this murder".
