The 60-year-old former Samajwadi Party MLA, who faces more than 100 cases in Uttar Pradesh, was taken from the Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad to a prison in Prayagraj, more than 1000 kms away, by road in connection with the Umesh Pal murder case.
Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in the Umesh Pal kidnapping case, is being taken back to Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad on Wednesday.
Atiq is being brought back to Prayagraj in connection with the 2007 Umesh Pal kidnapping and criminal conspiracy case in which he is the main accused. He will be produced before the court in Prayagraj on March 28 when the verdict will be delivered.
