Mafia don-turned-politician, Atiq Ahmed was convicted by an MP-MLA court and sentenced to rigorous life imprisonment in the abduction case of now-deceased Umesh Pal.
After the accused in the Umesh Pal murder case were killed in encounters, Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav on Tuesday expressed apprehension that the police would kill one of the sons of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed in a fake encounter in a few days.
Rejecting the bail application of Atiq Ahmed s son Ali Ahmed in a 2021 extortion case, the Allahabad High Court observed that enlarging such a criminal on bail would be a threat not only to the witnesses but also a constant threat to society.
