Atiq Ahmed's killing: The National Human Rights Commission of India (NHRC) on Tuesday issued a notice to Uttar Pradesh police over the killing of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf. Both criminals were shot dead by three shooters in Prayagraj on Saturday amid a full media presence when many were doing the live telecast.

Shooters targeted Atiq and Ashraf when they were being taken for a medical checkup in Prayagraj on Saturday night. The shooters had disguised as journalists.

The NHRC has taken cognizance of complaints alleging that two brothers Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf were killed by miscreants in police custody in Prayagraj of Uttar Pradesh on April 15, 2023.

The Commission has issued notices to the Director General of Police, Uttar Pradesh and the Commissioner of Police, Prayagraj calling for the following reports within four weeks.

  1. Detailed report, covering all the aspects leading to death (including time, place and reason for arrest/detention).
  2. Copy of complaint and FIR registered against the deceased.
  3. Copy of arrest memo and inspection memo.
  4. Whether information of arrest was given to family/relatives?
  5. Copy of seizure memo and recovery memo.
  6. Copy of medical legal certificate of the deceased.
  7. Copies of all relevant GD extracts (all must be legible and transcribed in English/Hindi) and inquest Report.
  8. Post Mortem Report (typed copy of PMR especially description of injuries must be provided).
  9. Video cassette/CD of post-mortem examination, site plan of the scene of occurrence giving all the details.
  10. Chemical & histopathology examination of viscera (if applicable), final cause of death based on FSL report and magisterial enquiry report.

Days after gangster Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were gunned down, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath earlier today said that no mafia or criminal can threaten industrialists in the state anymore.

The Chief Minister said, "Before 2017, the state was infamous for riots. More than 700 riots rocked the state between 2012 and 2017. But not a single riot broke out after 2017. Earlier, just the names of many districts scared people. Now there is no need to be scared."

"Few years back, there was a crisis for the identity of the state... Today the state is becoming a crisis for criminals. No criminal can threaten any businessman in the state any more."

Adityanath was addressing a programme to mark the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for setting up textile parks in Lucknow and Hardoi districts. The textile parks are being set up under the PM Mega Integrated Textile Region and Apparel (PM MITRA) scheme.
