CM Yogi Adityanath had last month charged the Samajwadi Party with garlanding mafias like Atiq Ahmed and had said in the state assembly that mafia will destroy the mafia
"My son fought like a lion. He was awaiting judgement in this case. He was sure that Ahmad would get punished in the case. But he (Ahmad) got him (Umesh Pal) killed. We will not challenge today's court order. I want to request the CM to take care of us as we have on one with us," she said
Umesh Pal, a former Zila Panchayat member, had told police he was the prime witness in the BSP MLA Raju Pal's murder on January 25, 2005, in which the gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad was the main accused
