The murder of BJP leader Umesh Pal, a key witness in the 2005 daylight murder case of BSP MLA Raju Pal, was allegedly carried out by Atiq’s gang on 24 February this year. Atiq, along with his brother, wife, sons, and other associates, were booked in the case, and five people were identified as the shooters, including Asad and Ghulam. Pal’s murder was reportedly motivated by his increasing visibility and influence in the area, which threatened Atiq’s gang.
