Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad’s son Asad and an accomplice, both wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case, were killed in an encounter with the Uttar Pradesh police in Jhansi on Thursday, officers said. The Samajwadi Party president slammed the BJP government over the “fake encounter”.
“Sophisticated foreign made weapons were recovered from Asad and his aide Ghulam. Further details are awaited,” Special Director General (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar said.
