Atiq Ahmad’s Son Asad Killed in an Encounter
Atiq Ahmad’s Son Asad | Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad’s son Asad, who is wanted in killing lawyer Umesh Pal, has been killed in an encounter by the Uttar Pradesh Police’s Special Task Force (STF) in Jhansi.
Asad and another accused Ghulam were wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case and carried a reward of ₹5 lahks each. Sophisticated foreign-made weapons were recovered from both the slain accused.
The killing of Asad in an encounter comes on a day when Atiq Ahmad and his brother were produced before a Prayagraj court in connection with the case. The gangster was brought to Prayagraj via road from Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati jail for his production in court. His brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf was brought from Bareilly jail.
Umesh Pal witnessed the 2005 killing of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) lawmaker Raju Pal of which Ahmad is an accused. On February 24, Umesh Pal and his two security guards were shot dead outside his home in Prayagraj.
Based on a complaint by Umesh Pal’s wife Jaya Pal, a case was registered on February 25 against Ahmad, Ashraf, their family members, and others.
The FIR was lodged under sections 147 (rioting), 148 (rioting armed with deadly weapons), 149 (unlawful assembly guilty of the offense committed in prosecution of common object), 302 (murder), 307 (attempt to murder), and 506 (criminal intimidation) of the IPC.
