Atiq Ahmed, his brother Ashraf buried in UP's Prayagraj, shooters sent to 14-day judicial custody

A day after their killings, gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf were buried at Kasari Masari graveyard in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj district. Before this, their bodies were handed over to the family members after the post-mortem examination for the last rites. 

Earlier on Saturday, Atiq's son Asad, an accused in the Umesh Pal murder case, was buried at the same graveyard after being killed in a police encounter. The graveyard is located in Ahmad's ancestral village. Notably, Atiq Ahmed was accused in the 2005 BSP MLA Raju Pal



murder case and also in the Umesh Pal murder case which happened in February this year. 

Three-member judicial enquiry committee will give a report to the UP government in two months. The committee will be headed by Retired Justice Arvind Kumar Tripathi of Allahabad High Court. The other members include retired IPC officer Subesh Kumar Singh and Retired District Judge Brijesh Kumar Soni.

Three shooters who gunned down gangster Atiq and his brother Ashraf were sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Prayagraj court.
