Uttar Pradesh Police on Sunday conducted a flag march and patrolled various districts in the state after mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf were shot dead in Prayagraj.
Responding to the shooting of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf Ahmad by three assailants, Samajwadi Party MP ST Hasan on Sunday said that courts should have punished such criminals.
"CM Yogi immediately called a high-level meeting and ordered a high-level inquiry into the whole matter. Chief Minister also gave instructions for the formation of a three-member Judicial Commission (Judicial Inquiry Commission) in the matter," officials said.
The three assailants, who were arrested after shooting dead gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf in Prayagraj, will be presented before the magistrate today.
