The plea filed by Jailed gangster-turned-politician and Former MP Atiq Ahmed’s wife, BSP leader Shaista Parveen will be heard today before the Allahabad District Court claiming that her two sons were taken away by police and no update on them ever since.
A top police officer stated that in major development in the Umesh Pal Murder Case, an accused was shot in an encounter near the Nehru Park area in Prayagraj’s Dhoomanganj.
The accused who is identified as Arbaaz was driving the car that was used in the murder of Umesh Pal (prime witness) in several cases including the murder of BSP MLA Rajul Pal.
After the encounter police stated that Arbaaz was injured and succumbed at the hospital.
ADG law & order Prashant Kumar said on Monday that “Accused Arbaaz was shot during the encounter that took place near Nehru Park in Dhoomanganj, Prayagraj earlier today. He was driving the car that was used in the murder (of Umesh Pal) and was also fired upon.”
Further, he added that “Arbaaz died during treatment at the hospital. UP administration and the police have initiated a campaign against all such miscreants, gangsters, and mafia. There is also a crackdown against those sheltering such people.”
Umesh Pal and one of his two armed security escorts were shot dead in Prayagraj’s Sulem Saray area on the 24th of February. Several rounds were fired and bombs were hurled at Umesh and his gunners.
The incident came a couple of days after Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath thrashed out at the Samajwadi Party in the Assembly on February 25, stating that his government would destroy the mafia.
CM Yogi while describing the Prayagraj incident as sad said that “The government has taken cognizance of it and the results of our policy of zero tolerance for the crime would be there for everyone to see very soon. No one should have any doubts about it.”
Furthermore, he added in an attack on SP members that “Is it not true that the accused against whom the FIR has been lodged, was made an MP by Samajwadi Party? You raise and nurture all the criminals, garland them and then blame others when a crime takes place. By doing this, you are just making a spectacle of yourself.”
Meanwhile, the SP MLA Pooja Pal (wife of Lt. BSP MLA Raju Pal) met CM Adityanath today demanding for Y+ security for herself & her family.
