A large cache of illegal weapons was recovered from a house here on the tip-off of an active aide of late mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed's gang, police said on Monday.
Apart from Guddu Muslim and Shaista Parveen, Atiq Ahmed’s gang member shooter Armaan also remains at large and on the radar of the Uttar Pradesh police.
Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three men posing as journalists in the middle of a media interaction while police personnel were escorting them to a medical college.
Much has been said about the depredations of Atiq Ahmed’s gang and no right-thinking person can ever even dream of supporting him. But there are those in our society who choose to address him as Atiq ‘Ji’, and call him a martyr. This is nothing but vote-bank politics of appeasement
