Murdered gangsters Atiq Ahmed and brother Ashraf named in UP Police chargesheet for Umesh Pal murder

Atiq Ahmed, the murdered gangster-turned-politician, and his family have been listed as suspects in the murder of Umesh Pal by the Uttar Pradesh Police, according to the chargesheet that will be submitted today. On February 24, in front of his residence in the Dhoomanganj neighbourhood of Prayagraj, Umesh Pal and two of his police security guards were shot and killed. Many criminals and shooters, including Atiq Ahmed’s entire family, have been named as suspects in this case.

On February 25, a case was filed against Atiq Ahmad, his brother Ashraf, Atiq’s wife Shaista Parveen, two kids, henchmen Guddu Muslim and Ghulam, and nine others on the basis of a complaint filed by Jaya Pal, wife of Umesh Pal. Atiq Ahmed and two other people were found guilty on March 28 by an MP-MLA court in the 2006 Umesh Pal kidnapping case and given life sentences.
