Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot expressed concern on Sunday at the callous killing of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf while in police custody on Saturday night, saying such incidents occur where there is no law.
“The country is watching what is happening in Uttar Pradesh. Such incidents can happen with anyone if there is no rule of law,” Rajasthan CM Gehlot said on the killings of Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf Ahmed on Saturday. “To kill a person in full public glare is very easy but maintaining law and order in the state is difficult,” he added.
Gehlot, however, warned mafia and gangsters active in his state that their fates could also be the same as the slain UP ganglord.Days after Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad was killed in an encounter in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi, the mafia-turned-politician and his brother Ashraf Ahmed were killed on Saturday while being taken for a medical examination in Prayagraj.
Three people were arrested, informed the police at a hurried press briefing on Saturday night after gangster-turned-politician and his brother was shot dead in the full media glare.All three attackers were apprehended at the scene after they voluntarily turned themselves in, later taken in the custody of the police.
As per the law, any criminal caught in this manner has to be presented before the remand magistrate within 24 hours.The Uttar Pradesh government on Sunday imposed Section 144 of CrPC in all the districts, in the aftermath of the killings, officials informed.
