Atiq killing: Accused Arun Maurya was booked in two cases in Panipat, says police

[ad_1]
Chandigarh: Arun Maurya, one of the accused arrested in the killing of gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf, was booked for possession of illegal weapons in Haryana’s Panipat last year, officials said on Monday.
Maurya was booked under the Arms Act in February, 2022 and in another case in May that year, they said, adding that he was also jailed.
The accused had been living intermittently in Haryana’s Panipat and his native village Kadarwadi at Kasganj in Uttar Pradesh, a senior police official said.

“Maurya had two cases registered against him in 2022,” Panipat Superintendent of Police Ajit Singh Shekhawat told PTI over phone.
“One of the cases was registered under provisions of the Arms Act for possession of illegal weapon in February 2022, while the other case was registered in May over some fight,” he said.
Asked about Maurya’s age when he was first booked under the Arms Act in Panipat, the SP replied, “As per our records, he was around 18-years-old.”
He was on bail in both the cases, the officer said.
Shekhawat added that although Maurya’s family belongs to Kasganj, his grandfather had been working in Panipat.

According to Maurya’s uncle, Sunil, the accused had done his matriculation.
Sunil, who lives in Panipat, told reporters that the accused has a 12-year-old brother who is a student.
Sunil said he had gone to their native village recently and learnt that Maurya told his family that he was going to Delhi to attend a friend’s wedding.
On the murder of Atiq and his brother, the accused’s uncle said the family got to know about the incident after the Haryana police reached their house in Panipat to inquire about Maurya.
Ahmad (60) and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by the three men posing as journalists in the middle of a media interaction Saturday night while police personnel were escorting them to a medical college in Prayagraj for a checkup.
The assailants — Lavlesh Tiwari (22) of Banda, Mohit alias Sunny (23) of Hamirpur and Maurya — were arrested soon after the dramatic shootout that took place in full view of camera crews outside the Prayagraj hospital.
According to the FIR, the assailants told police that they killed the brothers to make a name for themselves in the world of crime.

Pak court grants Imran Khan interim bail till May 4 in three cases

[ad_1]
Lahore: An anti-terrorism court in Pakistan on Thursday extended interim bail to Imran Khan till May 4 in three cases related to the clashes between his supporters and the police during an operation to arrest the former premier in the Toshakhana corruption case last month.
Lahore’s Anti-terrorism court (ATC) granted one-time permission to Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), to appear for the hearing via video link in the case.
Khan had filed petitions for bail in three FIRs registered with the Race Course police station under anti-terror laws.

Khan, 70, has been repeatedly claiming that his life is under threat because of which he was abstaining from attending court hearings.
ATC judge Ejaz Ahmad Bhutta asked Khan’s lawyer Salman Safdar what he had done for which he was facing threats to his life.
To this, Safdar said those who were behind a gun attack on his client (in last November) could answer this.
“If Imran Khan is assassinated Pakistan will descend into chaos like what had happened after the murder of former premier Benazir Bhutto,” he said.
“There are credible reports that Mr Khan can be targeted by snipers on his way to courts and these can be verified from the law enforcement agencies,” he said.

In November last year, Khan survived an assassination attempt on his life.
After hearing arguments, the judge allowed Khan to mark his attendance in court through a video link and extended his pre-arrest bail till May 4, a court official said.
The Lahore police had booked Khan and hundreds of his party workers in three terrorism cases during clashes with police last month in an operation to arrest him in the Toshakhana case.
Khan has been in the crosshairs for buying gifts, including an expensive Graff wristwatch he had received as the premier at a discounted price from the state depository called Toshakhana, and selling them for profit.
He was disqualified by the Election Commission of Pakistan in October last year for not sharing details of the sales.
The election body later filed a complaint with the district court to punish him, under criminal laws, for selling the gifts he had received as prime minister of the country.
Khan has vehemently denied those charges.
The other case is related to the killing of a PTI worker in which Khan was booked for attempted murder.
Khan, the cricketer-turned-politician, is currently facing over 140 cases registered against him under treason, terrorism, murder, attempted murder, blasphemy, and other charges.
Khan was ousted from power in April last year after losing a no-confidence vote, which he alleged was part of a US-led conspiracy targeting him because of his independent foreign policy decisions on Russia, China, and Afghanistan.
Since his ouster, he has been demanding early elections to remove what he termed an “imported government” led by prime minister Shehbaz Sharif.
Sharif has maintained that elections will be held later this year once parliament completes its five-year tenure.

2020 Delhi riots: Court acquits father-son duo of rioting, arson charges in 2 cases

[ad_1]
New Delhi: A court here has acquitted a father-son duo of the charges of rioting and arson during the 2020 North East Delhi communal conflagration, saying there was no incriminating evidence against them.
Additional Sessions Judge Pulastya Pramachala was hearing two cases pertaining to the 2020 riots based on three complaints against Mithhan Singh and his son Jony Kumar.
According to the prosecution, the duo was part of a riotous mob that set ablaze houses, including those of the complainants, after identifying the properties of people from a particular community, in lane number 29 of Khajuri Khas on February 25.

“…Both both accused are hereby acquitted of all the charges levelled against them in this case,” ASJ Pramachala said in the judgments passed on Monday.
In both orders, the judge noted citing prosecution witnesses that though the presence of an unlawful assembly which engaged in rioting, vandalism and arson was established, they did not identify the duo.
“Hence, it was realised that there was no incriminating evidence at all against both the accused persons, so as to seek any explanation from them,” the judge said.
The Khajuri Khas police station had filed charge sheets against the two for various offences under the Indian Penal Code, including rioting and mischief by fire or explosive substance with intent to destroy house, etc.
