Killed | Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad’s son Asad, who is wanted in the killing of 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.
