Atiq Ahmad Killing: Plea in Supreme Court Seeks Independent Committee Probe
A day after gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf were shot dead under police escort, a plea was filed in the Supreme Court on Sunday seeking the constitution of an independent expert committee headed by a former apex court judge to probe the killings. The plea, filed by advocate Vishal Tiwari, also sought an inquiry into the 183 encounters that have taken place in Uttar Pradesh since 2017. Ahmad (60) and Ashraf, who were in handcuffs, were shot dead by three men posing as journalists.
