    Jhansi: Uttar Pradesh Police in the wee hours of Saturday took the bodies of the mafia turned politician Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad and his aide Ghulam to the mortuary in Prayagraj.

    As per the visuals, two ambulances and an Uttar Pradesh police van were seen taking the bodies to the mortuary in Prayagraj.

    State’s Special Director General (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar revealed that teams of civil police and special forces were deployed following the intelligence inputs of a plan by Asad of planning to free his father Atiq Ahmed by attacking a police convoy midway as the gangster turned politician was being brought in Uttar Pradesh for hearing.

    “We had information that to help the accused Atiq and Ashraf escape there could be an attack on the police convoy bringing them back to UP in the case (Umesh Pal murder case). In view of this information, teams of civil police and special forces were deployed,” said Prashant Kumar.

    Revealing further as to how the encounter took place, he said that based on the information, two teams were deployed and Asad was intercepted, while he was on a bike along with his aide Ghulam.

    “Action was taken on the basis of information and at around 12:30 and 1 pm the duo were killed in a retaliatory firing,” Kumar said, adding that the Special Task Force conducted the entire operation.

    Each of them carried a reward of Rupees five lakh. The police said that foreign-made weapons were recovered.

    Atiq Ahmed and his family came under the scanner in the Umesh Pal murder case. Atiq Ahmed, who has over 100 cases against him over the last 43 years, has been convicted in the same case.

    Umesh Pal, a key witness to the murder of Bahujan Samaj Party leader Raju Pal and one of his two armed security escorts was shot dead in Prayagraj’s Sulem Saray area on February 24. Several rounds were fired and bombs were hurled at Umesh and his gunners.

  • Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad, Ghulam fired with intent to kill, says FIR

    Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad, Ghulam fired with intent to kill, says FIR

    [ad_1]

    Lucknow: The FIR lodged soon after the encounter with Asad Ahmad, son of gangster Atiq Ahmad, and shooter Ghulam in Jhansi, says that the police tried to catch the two accused alive.

    The encounter took place on Thursday.

    The FIR says, “Just as we instructed our car driver to overtake the motorcycles the two accused were trying to flee in, and loudly asked them to stop, they accelerated and tried to take a turn at a side road to escape, though another team had already surrounded them.”

    The two were repeatedly warned but they did not stop and their motorcycles slipped and fell near a babool tree.

    “Asad and Ghulam took cover, started abusing the police and fired with the intent to kill,” it added.

    The police said they stopped their vehicle, took cover, and walked into their firing range to try to capture the two alive ‘without caring for their safety’.

    They had to shoot back as the accused started firing indiscriminately, the police said, adding that the firing from the other side stopped after a while when they inched closer and found Asad and Ghulam injured.

    “They still showed signs of life, so we immediately sent them to a hospital in two separate ambulances, but later found out that they had died,” the FIR said.

    Pistols, bullet shells, live bullets, motorcycles, and other evidence were collected from the spot, the report stated.

    The police said that they were told by an informant on April 13, that Asad and Ghulam were in Jhansi, after which they started laying a dragnet.

    Asad and Ghulam were spotted approaching on two unnumbered Bajaj Discovery motorcycles from Chirgaon town in Jhansi, after which the police chased them for 1.5 km.

    Asad’s body will be received by his maternal family and will be taken to a family graveyard at Kasari Masari in Prayagraj for burial in the afternoon or early evening.

    Atiq Ahmed and his family came under the scanner as CCTV footage showed that Umesh Pal was murdered by indiscriminate firing and a bomb blast in Prayagraj on February 24.

    Asad, 19, was seen chasing Umesh Pal with a gun in hand in the footage.

    Asad, who has no criminal record, was not named in the FIR lodged immediately after the killing of Umesh Pal. His name surfaced during the investigation, the police said.

    Both Asad and Ghulam had a reward of Rs 5 lakh on their heads.

    Umesh Pal, the key witness in the 2005 BSP MLA Raju Pal murder case, and his police security guards Raghavendra Singh and Sandeep Nishad, were also shot dead outside his home in Dhoomanganj on February 24.

    With Thursday’s encounter, four people linked to Umesh Pal’s murder have so far been gunned down. Police are still looking for Guddu Muslim, who allegedly lobbed a bomb during the shooting, and another alleged shooter, Sabir.

    The FIR said Guddu Muslim had also gone to Jhansi immediately after Umesh Pal’s murder and stayed at the house of one Satish Pandey.

    According to police sources, Asad Ahmad had fled to Lucknow after the killing of Umesh Pal. He later moved to Kanpur and then Meerut before reaching Delhi, it is learnt. He then decided to flee to Madhya Pradesh. He reached Jhansi and was on his way to the state border on a bike when police intercepted him. Asad was reportedly in disguise.

  • Asad Ahmed’s encounter: BJP holds encounters in name of religion, says Owaisi

    Asad Ahmed’s encounter: BJP holds encounters in name of religion, says Owaisi

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi condemned Uttar Pradesh’s governing Bharatiya Janata Party on Thursday after Asad Ahmad, an accused in the murder of Umesh Pal, whose father Atiq Ahmad is also mentioned in the case, died in a police encounter.

    Speaking in Telangana’s Nizamabad, he questioned whether ‘the BJP (would) also shoot those who killed Junaid and Nasir’, referring to two men reportedly slain by cow vigilantes in February; their burnt remains were discovered in an SUV in Haryana.

    “Will the BJP also shoot those who murdered Junaid and Nasir? Will the BJP also carry out encounter killings of individuals responsible for the deaths of Junaid and Nasir? No, because you (the BJP) conduct encounters in the name of religion,” an enraged Owaisi said.

  • If Asad can come from Hyderabad for Junaid, Nasir, why can’t Ghelot, Pilot?: Owaisi

    If Asad can come from Hyderabad for Junaid, Nasir, why can’t Ghelot, Pilot?: Owaisi

    [ad_1]

    All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) national president Asaduddin Owaisi while addressing a public meeting at Tonk on Sunday hit out at the Rajasthan chief minister Ashok Gehlot and Congress leader Sachin Pilot for remaining quiet on issues relating to Muslim minorities in fear of losing out on Hindu votes.

    “Today we have witnessed a gruesome murder of Nasir and Junaid,” said Owaisi referring to the bodies of two Muslim men who were charred to death in Haryana earlier this week in what is believed to be an attack by cow vigilantes.

    “Nine MLAs won seats in Rajasthan among them three were Mewati Muslims, how many of them raised their voice in support of deceased brothers?” questioned Owaisi.

    “If I can go to Bharatpur to meet the family of Nasir and Junaid, why can’t Gehlot and Pilot from Jaipur and Tonk visit them? They are scared that if they are spotted with Muslims they might lose the support of our Hindu brothers. This is the reality that they want your vote, but they don’t want to visit your brother’s graveyard,” he added.

    Owasi pointed out Pilot’s casual statement over the Bhiwani killings where he said that “culprits should be punished.”

    While slamming Pilot’s casual attitude, Owaisi stated, “This is being said for the last 70 years, Mr Sachin, that the culprits must be punished. But the culprits are not punished. We (Muslims) are. Our houses are being deserted and our daughters’ futures are destroyed. We are punished,” states Owaisi.

    Owaisi went on the slam Pilot stating that he did not have the courage to take Junaid and Nasir’s names or that Meo Muslims are being oppressed by cow vigilantes.

    “They are afraid that if they are seen with Muslims they will not get the votes of their Hindu brothers. They want your votes but they will not stand by you when the dead bodies of your brother and son are lying in front of you. They want your vote but will not garland the grave of my brothers and sons,” Owais slams the duo asking Muslims of Rajasthan to beware of Congress and BJP’s ‘propaganda’.

    After the murder of the duo, allegedly by members of the Bajrang Dal, the chief minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot announced a compensation of Rs 15 lakh to the families of the deceased.

    Owaisi also accused chief minister Gehlot of discriminating against the families of Juniad and Nasir by grating them a compensation of a mere Rs 15 lakh, while the similar cases in Udaipur and Bhilwara, the families of the deceased were given Rs 50 lakh and a government job.
