Atiq Ahmed killing: In another revelation, officials have informed that Shaista Parveen, wife of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed who was shot dead by three shooters in UP's Prayagraj on April 15, is trying to secure her husband's illegal funds and properties. Shaista Parveen, an accused in the Umesh Pal murder case, has been absconding. UP Police has announced a bounty of Rs 50,000 on her.
According to reports, Shaista Parveen was running and looking after her husband Atiq Ahmed's mafia raj (empire) and used to collect extortion money through hawala.
