Read MoreUP mafia don Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad, along with his accomplice Ghulam, has been killed in a police encounter in Jhansi district, the police said on Thursday.
The police had been searching for Asad and his accomplices wanted in the murder of Umesh Pal, a key witness in the 2005 murder case of BSP MLA Raju Pal.
Both Asad and Ghulam were carrying a reward of ₹5 lakh on their head since they killed Umesh in broad daylight on a busy street in Prayagraj on February 24.
The encounter was led by deputy SPs Navendu and Vimal, and foreign-made weapons were recovered from the site.
Asad was leading the attack party which gunned down Umesh, his two bodyguards and his advocate, according to CCTV footage. He has been on the run since.
Despite a statewide search, Asad had managed to evade the police for more than a month, frequently changing his locations in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.
According to the Delhi Police, Asad stayed for 13 days in Sangam Vihar area of South Delhi. The man, who gave shelter to the notorious criminal, was detained by the Delhi Police’s Special Cell earlier this month.
During the course of their investigation, the Delhi Police found out that one of the arrested men had provided financial help to Asad and had even visited Meerut to get cash.
The UP Police had already arrested over a dozen persons and had gunned down two of the conspirators and attackers last month.
The UP Police has announced a reward of ₹25,000 for Atiq’s wife, Shaista Parveen, for her alleged involvement in the murder conspiracy of Umesh Pal.
Incidentally, Asad has been killed on a day when his father Atiq and uncle Asraf were produced before a magistrate court in Prayagraj in connection with the Umesh Pal murder case.
Umesh was under pressure from Atiq’s men to withdraw himself from the trial of the murder of Raju Pal, who was allegedly killed by Atiq’s men after he defeated Asraf in Assembly elections.
