By India Today Web Desk: Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were killed in an encounter in Prayagraj. He and his brother were killed when they were taken for a medical test.
The former MP was killed hours after his son Asad Ahmed’s last rite.
Atiq had on Friday sought permission from a magistrate to attend the funeral of his son. His lawyer Manish Khanna had told PTI that since Friday was a holiday on account of Ambedkar Jayanti, the request had been sent to the remand magistrate.
