Atiq Ahmed’s Shooters To Be Presented Before Prayagraj Court

Gangster Atiq Ahmed’s shooters will be produced before the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM court) in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj today where the Special Investigation Team has filed an application in the court seeking remand for questioning for all the 3 accused.

Therefore, the police sought their custody by filing an application with the Chief Magistrate and have asked for 14 days of custodial remand.

The 3 shooters, Arun Maurya, Sunny Singh, and Lovelesh Tiwari were sent to 14-day judicial custody by the district court on April 16.

Security was increased while taking them to the court due to the incident which occurred on April 15 night when Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf got killed in police presence while being taken for a medical checkup.

The media is being kept away from the accused.

Earlier, the 3 assailants got shifted from Prayagraj’s Naini Central Jail to the Pratapgarh district jail on Monday.

The official sources stated that “All three shooters, Arun Maurya, Sunny Singh, and Lovelesh Tiwari, are under threat of attack behind bars, owing to which they have been shifted to a high-security cell and are kept under CCTV surveillance.”

Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf Ahmad were shot dead by men posing as press persons on Saturday night while being taken for a medical examination in Prayagraj. Both the gangsters collapsed on the spot after they were shot at nearly point-blank range.

On April 16, the last rites of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf took place at a family graveyard in the Kasari Masari area of Prayagraj.
