Atiq Ahmed, Ashraf killing: In a dramatic turn of events, gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead when they were interacting with the media after being taken for a medical checkup to the Prayagraj Medical College.
Atiq Ahmed was accused in the 2005 BSP MLA Raju Pal murder case and also in the Umesh Pal murder case which happened in February this year.
Sources also claimed that Asad who was killed in an alleged encounter was planning to flee any Gulf country.
Asad's maternal grandfather Hamid Ali completed all the rituals along with at least 25 relatives of gangster Atiq Ahmed. The police videographed the entire ceremony.
According to Uttar Pradesh Police data, more than 10,900 police encounters have taken place in the state since March 2017.
Asad Ahmad, Ghulam Encounter: The medical examination of Asad Ahmad and Ghulam revealed that both suffered two and one bullet injuries respectively. They were declared dead once all crucial medical examination was completed.
Asad Ahmad Encounter: A day after UPSTF encountered Atiq Ahmed's son and an accomplice Ghulam in Jhansi, Ghulam's mother praised the Yogi government for his action against the gangsters and claimed that she will not accept the body of his son.
Asad and Ghulam, both wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case were shot dead in an exchange of fire with the Uttar Pradesh Police near Jhansi on Thursday, officials said.
Asad Ahmed encounter: Asad had no criminal record before February 24, 2023 when he allegedly led a group of assailants in the sensational killing of lawyer Umesh Pal and two police guards outside his residence in Prayagraj.
Asad Ahmed was caught on CCTV when Umesh Pal was killed and had been on the run for the past 50 days, UP police said.
UP Special DG Law & Order IPS Prashant Kumar said that when the police tried to nab Asad Ahmed and his accomplice, they fired back. Two foreign-made weapons, and one local weapon were recovered from them.
The gangster was produced in UP's Prayagraj court in the Umesh Pal murder case on Thursday which sent Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf to 4-day police custody.
The Yogi government in UP has done what Yogi Adityanath had openly said. The mafia will be reduced to soil. Today Asad, the son of UP's biggest mafia, Atiq Ahmed, was killed in an encounter with him. Running, hiding—the shooter slave was also killed.
Asad Ahmed encounter: Police said that during the chase, they asked the criminals to surrender but they didn't. They tried to escape on a two-wheeler when their bike slipped and they fell. The accused fired on the cops but were killed in the gunfire.

Atiq Ahmed wept in courtroom on hearing news about his son’s death. Both Asad and Ghulam were carrying rewards of Rs 5 lakh each. They were the main accused in the murder of Umesh Pal, a key witness in BSP MLA Raju Pal’s murder case of 2005.
By doing false encounters, the BJP government is trying to divert attention from the real issues. The BJP does not believe in the court at all, said Akhilesh Yadav.
