Vishal Tiwari, an advocate, filed a PIL before the Supreme Court, asking for it to order the constitution of an independent expert committee under a retired apex court judge to look into the killing of former MP and gangster Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf.
Former Chief Minister of J&K Mehbooba Mufti said that Atiq killing is a diversionary tactic to shift attention from the startling revelation made by former Governor of J&K Satya Pal Malik on Pulwama terror attack.
