Atiq Ahmed was shot dead in Prayagraj today In a dramatic turn of events, gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at close range as police escorted them to a medical college in Prayagraj today. A senior police official said three people had been arrested. Atiq Ahmad's son was killed in a clash with police in Jhansi just two days ago. Samajwadi party leader Akhilesh Yadav condemned the killing and criticized Yogi Adityanath's government for its lack of rule of law.
"Crime is at an all time high in UP and criminal morale is high. When someone can be shot dead in the middle of the police cordon, then what about the safety of the general public? "Because of this, an atmosphere of fear is created among the public; it seems some people are deliberately creating that atmosphere," Yadav tweeted in Hindi.
उप्र में अपराध की पराकाष्ठा हो है है और के हौसले बुलं। ।। ।। जब पुलिस के घेरे के के सरेआम करके करके हत्या जा जा सकती है आम जनत इससे इससे जनत बीच भय व व Gunag.
"Atiq and his brother were killed while in custody and handcuffed. JSR slogans were also thrown. His murder is a perfect example of Yogi's great failure in respect of law and order. Those who celebrate the meet-raj are also responsible for this murder." AIMIM leader Asaduddin Owaisi tweeted.
