Atiq Ahmed murder FIR: The killers wanted to become ‘popular and big gangsters’, Pakistan linked weapons used in Umesh Pal murder recovered as per Atiq’s confession

On Sunday, April 16, the three assailants arrested for shooting mafia brothers Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf Ahmed dead confessed that they killed the two to ‘become popular and become big gangsters’. 

Booked under IPC sections 302, 307, and Arms Act sections 3, 7, 25, 27, and Criminal Law Amendment Act section 7, the three assailants identified as Lovelesh Tiwari, Sunny Singh, and Arun Maurya told the police about the motive of the crime.

When police asked them why they did it, they said that they wanted to wipe off the Atiq-Ashraf gang and earn a name for themselves in the state which would help them in future. This has been revealed in the FIR filed by UP Police in the case.

According to the FIR, the accused persons said that they could not escape after shooting Atiq and Ashraf dead as they failed to anticipate the police cordon present there.

“We planned to assassinate Atiq and Ashraf by posing to be local news reporters and blending in with the crowd the moment we learned that they are being taken into custody by the police,” the FIR reads.

The FIR further gives several other crucial information regarding the case and the involvement of Atiq Ahmed with the criminal world and terror groups in Pakistan.

Atiq Ahmed’s ISI and Lashkar connection

The FIR further states that Atiq Ahmed confessed that he has direct connections with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba. Weapons from Pakistan are dropped on the Punjab border with the help of drones and people in Punjab associated with the ISI collect these weapons and distribute them among LeT terrorists, others to Khalistani terrorist organizations, and some firearms such as .45 Bore pistols, AK-47s, sten guns and RDX are supplied to Atiq Ahmed.

“I made payments for these weapons and people belonging to these organizations. These people used to visit him often and through their conversations I got to know that they were planning to do something big in the country. I know one person from ISI who dealt in arms and from whom I procured weapons to kill Umesh Pal and his guards,” Atiq Ahmed told the police as mentioned in the FIR. 

According to the FIR, on 14 April, Asad and Ashraf could not be questioned much as they were upset due to the death of Atiq’s son Asad in a police encounter. They also said that they were feeling unwell.

Detailed questioning of Atiq and Ashraf was done on 15 April, where they informed the location of the weapons used in the Umesh Pal murder. Based on their confession, one .45 bore pistol, one .32 bore pistol, 58 live cartridges of two different bores were recovered. Among the ammunition were five 9mm cartridges made in Pakistan’s ordnance factory. After the recovery of these weapons, additional charges under the Arms Act were slapped against them.

After they again complained about feeling unwell and scared, after after seeing that their conditions were not good, the police took them to the hospital for a health checkup. Accordingly, they reached the medical college and hospital in the evening. When the police were taking Atiq and Ashraf to the main gate of the hospital after deboarding the vehicle, reporters surrounded them to ask questions. The police arrived at the medical college at around 10.35 p.m. With the media all around them, they had taken no more than 15 to 20 steps when they stopped to give the byte to the media present there.

According to the FIR, one reporter dropped his camera, and another dropped the microphone as soon as Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf began speaking to the media. Suddenly, both of them took out weapons in a swift move and shot at them from point-blank range. After they fell to the ground, the third shooter shot at them. All of these were captured in cameras.

While Atiq and Ashraf were the primary target, stray bullets hit some people, including one of the shooters and a policemen.

Accused Lovelesh Tiwari, some journalists, and a police officer were injured during the firing

It is stated in the FIR that accused Lovelesh Tiwari was injured during the cross-firing by the co-accused persons and is being provided medical attention at Prayagraj’s Swaroop Rani Hospital. 

Mann Singh, a constable, was shot in the right hand during crossfire. Minor injuries were also sustained by a few of the journalists who were covering the incident. However, it is believed that they were not shot but they were injured due to the ruckus created by the incident. Taking prompt action, the police nabbed all the assailants and seized their weapons as well. Severely injured Atiq and Ashraf were brought to the hospital, where the doctors pronounced them dead. 

Weapons recovered from the accused assailants and formation of three-member enquiry committee

According to the press note, the police have recovered one country-made 30 pistol (7.62), one made in Turkey 9 mm Girsan pistol, and another Turkey-made 9 mm Zigana pistol. 

The government has sought a report from the three-member judicial enquiry committee looking into the killings of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf within two months. 

The committee will be headed by retired Justice Arvind Kumar Tripathi of Allahabad HC and will also comprise retired IPC officer Subesh Kumar Singh and retired District Judge Brijesh Kumar Soni. Earlier on Saturday, hours after the murder of the duo, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took cognizance of the Prayagraj incident and ordered the formation of a three-member Judicial Commission (Judicial Inquiry Commission) in the matter.

Western media makes little mention of the criminal background of Atiq Ahmed, focuses on the gangster’s political career instead

A day after the assassination of Atiq Ahmed in Prayagraj city of India, western media publications in their coverage laid more emphasis on the political career of the gangster than his criminal background. Almost all the foreign media houses called him a former lawmaker in their reports, choosing to omit that he was a former gangster and named in dozens of criminal cases, including murder cases.

In its report published on Sunday (April 16), Reuters not only referred to Atiq Ahmed as a ‘former Indian lawmaker’ but also made passing remarks about his criminal history.

While the assassination has been described in detail, the media outlet also ensured that the mention of a judicial probe into the case is prefixed by the reference to BJP as a ‘Hindu nationalist party.’

Reuters also referred to the police encounter of Asad Ahmed but without delving into the details of his criminal activity. Thereafter, it relied upon testimonies made by an Opposition leader (Akhilesh Yadav) to cast aspersions on the ability of the Uttar Pradesh government and police to crack down on criminals.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) also used a similar ploy wherein it focused on every other aspect except for the criminal record of Atiq Ahmed.

“Experts have raised questions on how a man could be killed in front of the media and the police,” it insinuated about government underhand in the assassination.

Not surprisingly, the UK’s national broadcaster also lay emphasis on the meteoric rise of the gangster in the political sphere. BBC also cast doubts about the encounters carried out by the Uttar Pradesh police.

“Rights activists accuse the police of carrying out extra-judicial killings, which the state’s government denies. The police usually calls them “encounters” – many say these are really staged confrontations which almost invariably end with dead criminals and unscathed police,” it claimed.

Associated Press employed similar tactics but went a step ahead in demonising the sacred Hindu chant of ‘Jai Shrim Ram.’

Screengrab of the article by Associated Press

“The men quickly surrendered to the police after the shooting, with at least one of them chanting “Jai Shri Ram,” or “Hail Lord Ram,” a slogan that has become a battle cry for Hindu nationalists in their campaign against Muslims,” the report read.

It also cast aspersions on police encounters, especially the one pertaining to Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad. The report also identified BJP as a ‘Hindu nationalist party’ and suggested a larger conspiracy into the assassination of the gangster.

While it is not unusual for Western media publications to whitewash criminals, it is perhaps the first time that a gangster’s political career is the topic of discussion rather than his criminal background.

History-sheeters, drug addict, attempt to murder, robbery and others: Atiq Ahmed’s killers have a long criminal history

On April 15, Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were killed by three assailants. Banda resident Lovelesh Tiwari’s family has said they were not in touch with him. They claimed he was a drug addict. Sunny Singh from Hamirpur was not in contact with his family. Third shooter Arun’s family members denied any knowledge of his involvement in the crimes.

23 years old Sunny Singh is a history-sheeter and has 14 cases filed against him at the Kurara police station, according to UP Police. However, some media reports claim that there are 17 cases against him. He hails from Kurara of district Hamirpur. Reports suggest he has linked to the mafia Sunder Bhati from Noida. The charges against him include attempt to murder, robbery, illegal weapons, smuggling of illegal drugs and offences under the gangster act.

Statement by UP Police

Sunny’s brother and father died long ago and his mother lives in her paternal house. Sunny has been active in the criminal world for over ten years, and has no contact with his family. His elder brother Pintu Singh said the family has had nothing to do with Sunny for a long time.

As per media reports, Lovelesh Tiwari’s father revealed he was a drug addict and left home a long ago. He was accused of slapping a girl. His father Yagya Tiwari assured the police to provide all support in the case. On the other hand, Lovelesh’s mother said her son is a devotee of Lord Hanuman and helps others. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Shalabh Mani Tripathi has requested the media not to trouble Lovelesh’s father unnecessarily.

22 years old Lovelesh Tiwari is also named as accused in several cases including illegal alcohol smuggling, violence, harassment of women and offences under the IT Act. The cases against him are registered at Kotwali Town and Baberu police stations.

Lovelesh had enrolled for BA, but he had failed the exams, after which he left studies and started to get involved in petty crimes.

Statement by UP Police

18-year-old Arun Kumar Maurya, the third shooter, hails from Baghela Pukhta of Kasganj. According to a statement issued by UP Police, there is no information of any criminal case filed against Arun Kumar Maurya. However, a Zee News report claims that he was accused of killing a GRP constable.

His old mother did not know about the incident. Their hut does not even has a roof. Police are questioning Arun’s family to get more details on the matter.

Uttar Pradesh: MP-MLA court in Ghazipur to award punishment to Mukhtar Ansari on April 29 under Gangster Act

The MP-MLA court of Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh has rescheduled the date for the order on cases against Mukhtar Ansari to April 29. In this order, the court is going to award the punishment to Mukhtar Ansari and his brother Afzal Ansari under the gangster act.

The date for the court order was postponed, according to additional district government counsel (criminal) Ghazipur Niraj Srivastava, because the MP-MLA court’s presiding officer was not present on Saturday, 15th April 2023. He stated that on April 1 when the court withheld its decision, the trial in the case was completed.

Both Mukhtar Ansari and Afzal Ansari are booked under the gangster act in 2007. Mukhtar Ansari was charged for his role in the 1996 abduction of coal industrialist and Vishwa Hindu Parishad office-holder Nandkishore Rungta and the murder of BJP legislator Krishnanand Rai in 2005. After being listed on the gang chart created in response to the murder of Krishnand Rai, Afzal Ansari was also booked in this case.

The Krishnanand Rai murder case

Krishnanand Rai was an MLA from Muhammadabad. He was also close to Manoj Sinha, who was a minister for 5 years in the previous central government from 2014 to 2019. It is notable that Afzal Ansari defeated Manoj Sinha in 2019 to become an MP from Ghazipur. Krishnanand Rai was killed on 29th June 2005. His six companions were also killed in this mayhem.

Unfazed by the regime, the killers fired 400 rounds of bullets. After the incident, 67 bullets were removed from the bodies of the deceased during the postmortem. MLA Rai was popular among the people, which led to tremendous protests. Among those who protested were many people who are now in power in UP and Delhi. Rajnath Singh had staged a sit-in protest against this murder at that time for 14 days and former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee himself had to come to end his protest.

Atiq Ahmed would have killed Mayawati just a day before she became CM: Read details of the Guest House Case

Atiq Ahmed would have killed Mayawati just a day before she became CM: Read details of the Guest House Case

On 15th April 2023, mafia Atiq Ahmed was killed in Prayagraj’s government hospital when he was being taken for a medical checkup. His brother Ashraf Ahmed was also killed. Both of them were accused and convicted in many cases. Atiq, who had instilled fear in the minds of people for decades, was killed by the attackers in front of both the police and the media. A bullet was fired into his head, after which several shots were fired at the brothers. Atiq and Ashraf died immediately.

Atiq had spread his terror for 44 years. At the age of 17, he was charged with murder. Apart from this, he was involved in extortion. Despite his dangerous history sheet, he got political patronage in the previous governments.

Guest House case

As a result of this political patronage, he was involved in attacking Mayawati in the 1995 guest house case incident. Mayawati has also mentioned him in this regard many times from various stages. She has said in the past that it was Atiq Ahmed who had conspired to kill her. It is said that if Mayawati was not accompanied by two junior police officers that day, the mob that entered the guest house could have done anything.

The ‘guest house scandal‘ took place on the 2nd of June 1995 in room number 1 of the state guest house situated on the Meerabai road of Lucknow, when some goons of the Samajwadi Party including a few elected representatives had assaulted BSP leader Mayawati for withdrawing support from the then SP-BSP joint state government of the Uttar Pradesh headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav, founder, and president of Samajwadi Party. Mayawati was sworn in as the chief minister of the state the next day.

Raju Pal’s murder brought Atiq Ahmed into a trouble

Atiq’s political career began in 1989. He contested initially as an Independent, then sometimes from Samajwadi Party, and sometimes from Apna Dal. He became a five-time MLA from Allahabad West assembly and MP from Phulpur in 2004.

When the Allahabad MLA seat went vacant after Atiq Ahmed became an MP, he used his strength to get his brother Ashraf to contest the MLA seat. However, after Ashraf was defeated by Raju Pal, both the brothers became furious and within a few days MLA Raju Pal was murdered. Umesh Pal, who was killed by Atiq’s henchmen in February 2023, was a witness in the same case. On his testimony, a charge sheet was filed against all the accused including Atiq Ahmed.

BSP government started a crackdown against Atiq Ahmed as a revenge

Before the murder of MLA Raju Pal in 2005, Atiq Ahmed was named in the infamous guest house case in Lucknow. Atiq Ahmed was the main accused in the case. He was accused of plotting the guest house incident. After becoming CM, Mayawati did not forgive him for a long time. Whenever Mayawati’s government came to power, she took action against Atiq. Cracking down on the mafia, and taking action on his properties started during the BSP regime.

Yogi Adityanath finished the terror of this mafia

However, Atiq Ahmed’s terror was finished after 2017, when the Yogi Adityanath government came to power and appeared committed to a zero-tolerance policy towards the mafia. Atiq Ahmed has been behind bars continuously since 2019. In 2022, charges were framed against him in the Raju Pal murder case of 2005.

Atiq Ahmed’s family joined Bahujan Samaj Party

Meanwhile, Mayawati’s anger with Atiq Ahmed slowly faded away. The BSP chief herself came ahead and gave political patronage to Atiq’s family. On January 6, 2023, Atiq Ahmed’s family joined the BSP. It is said that on the instructions of Mayawati, Atiq’s family was associated with the BSP. Shortly after that, BSP’s former Rajya Sabha member Ghanshyam Chandra Kharwar also made Shaista Parveen the mayoral candidate of BSP from Prayagraj.

The Ahmed clan has been reduced to ruins

Before Atiq’s family’s career flourished with the BSP, this family and Atiq’s gang carried out the Umesh Pal murder and then the Yogi Adityanath government started a campaign to demolish the mafia cartel. A few days after the murder, Atiq’s henchmen were killed. Atiq’s condition was also bad. He had started opening his terror connections in front of the police. He told the police how he used to procure weapons from D Company, he also had links with Lashkar-e-Taiba and ISI. But then Asad Ahmed was killed in an encounter and Atiq Ahmed broke down as soon as he heard the news.

After this, Atiq again showed arrogance and threatened the UP STF officials that he would show his power after getting released from jail. However, he was shot dead a day after the threat. This also finished off the 44-year-old terror that he started in 1979 in the greed of becoming rich.

His father was a tanga driver, but he wanted to become rich and powerful so much that he never thought about anything before involving in extortion or committing murders. Atiq had more than 101 cases registered against him. Among them, the Raju Pal murder and the guest house case were the most discussed. Atiq and Ashraf were not bloated by killing Rajupal, but today, due to this case Atiq Ahmed, his brother, son, and his henchmen all are dead. At the same time, the police are still investigating the reason behind the murder of this mafia.

Netizens mock new AAP protest-drama over CBI questioning Kejriwal, point out uninterested Bhagwant Mann scrolling through his phone

On Sunday, April 16, Aam Aadmi Party chief and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appeared before the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) for questioning in relation to the Delhi liquor policy scam case. As Kejriwal’s questioning commenced, several AAP leaders including Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, Raghav Chaddha, Atishi, Sanjay Singh, Saurabh Bhardwaj, and others staged a ‘dharna’ outside CBI headquarters and raised slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi such as “Gali gali mein shor hai Narendra Modi chor hai” and “Modi Adani bhai bhai desh bech ke khai khai.”

While other AAP leaders seemed interested in doing the sit-in protest and were participating in the sloganeering against the Modi govt, the eagle-eyed netizens were quick to notice that Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann seemed not interested in the protest. While he was sitting with other leaders, he was not chanting any slogans in support of Arvind Kejriwal. Instead, he was busy scrolling through his phone, as seen in a video from the scene.

A Twitter user named Trupti Garg wrote, “Just look at Bhagwant Mann’s reaction…Bilkul ignore kar raha hai (He is completely ignoring).”

Taking a jibe at AAP’s Sanjay Singh one CSK Fan (7) wrote, “Sanjay Singh looks professional. Rojka kaam hai lgta hai”(It seems like this is his daily job).

Himanshu Mittal seemed rather concerned about the Punjab CM’s security and also called out AAP leaders for causing ‘ruckus’ over Arvind Kejriwal being summoned for inquiry. “Very interesting to see how party workers are creating ruckus and obstacles when leader of their party is summoned for just enquiry!! More interesting, #PunjabCM is sitting on road with no interest and there is no security seen around him. Now this is actually concerning point,” Mittal tweeted.

Meanwhile, Miss Fair&Square wrote, “Ek nashedi, ek ticket blackiya, ek joota chor, PM ko chor bol rahein hain. Also, notice Chadda. He’s LSE educated so he won’t do a “culling mosquito clap” like the ticket blackiya. Pegwant Mann is checking out (Beer mug emoji) deals in duty-free shopping.”

Pointing out at an uninterested Punjab CM, one Sushen Tamkoria wrote, “Absolutely love how Punjab CM is not giving a fuck.”

One Aveer seemed upset with CM Bhagwant Mann as he wrote, “This person represents 3 crores Punjabis!! Shame.”

One Sushant wrote, “Bhagwant Mann and Chaddha look like the least interested ones in this whole nautanki…By the way, when @SanjayAzadSln is going to be summoned by the agencies??”

Some netizens also pointed out that Delhi assembly speaker Ram Niwas Goel was also sitting on the road in protest of CBI questioning of Arvind Kejriwal, and asked if it is proper for a speaker to join political protests. Rahul Kaushit wrote, “Sitting between Chadha and Atishi is the Delhi Assembly speaker Ram Niwas Goel. Is this allowed for someone sitting on a constitutional post to sit on the pavement like a sadak-chhap and raise slogans against the Prime Minister? Even as Kejriwal’s questioning continues, several AAP leaders protesting outside the CBI office have been detained.”

Even as Kejriwal’s questioning continues, several AAP leaders protesting outside the CBI office have been detained, including Raghav Chadha, Sanjay Singh and others.

Addressing a press conference, AAP leader Gopal Rai claimed that Delhi Police has arrested 32 MLAs and 70 councilors protesting in support of Arvind Kejriwal. Police also detained 20 MLAs of Punjab who were coming to meet the Delhi CM, Rai claimed.

Delhi Excise Policy Scam Case

The liquor policy was initially proposed in September 2020, but it was not put into effect until November 2021. The entry of private players and the departure of government-owned liquor dealers altered how alcohol was sold in the National Capital.

While eliminating black marketing and the liquor mafia was the goal of the Excise Policy 2021–2022, the Delhi government soon came under scrutiny for alleged corruption. Naresh Kumar, the Chief Secretary of Delhi, uncovered irregularities and procedural errors in the new liquor policy. On the advice of Naresh Kumar, Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena requested the CBI conduct an investigation.

It was discovered that Manish Sisodia had, under the pretext of the Coronavirus pandemic, wiped off 144.36 crores of the licence price that the private liquor merchants were supposed to pay. Additionally, he eliminated the $50 import pass fee for each beer case, costing the Delhi government money while helping those with liquor licences.

Moreover, the Delhi Excise Rules of 2010 and the Transaction of Business Rules of 1993 deem the changes to the Excise Policy to be unlawful because they were made without the Lieutenant Governor’s final approval.

The Delhi government revoked the new excise policy in July 2022. Following that, the CBI filed an FIR against Manish Sisodia and several other people for irregularities in the implementation of the Delhi Excise Policy 2021–2022.

Atiq Ahmad killing: 3-member judicial committee asked to submit enquiry report in 2 months

The three-member judicial enquiry committee, probing the murder of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf has been asked to submit a report to the government in two months. 

The committee will be headed by retired Justice Arvind Kumar Tripathi of Allahabad HC and will also comprise retired IPC officer Subesh Kumar Singh and retired District Judge Brijesh Kumar Soni. Earlier on Saturday, hours after the murder of the duo, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath took cognizance of the Prayagraj incident and ordered the formation of a three-member Judicial Commission (Judicial Inquiry Commission) in the matter. 

Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf Ahmad were shot dead by assailants on Saturday while being taken for a medical in Prayagraj. 

Atiq Ahmad 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. 

Atiq was accused in the murder of BSP MLA Raju Pal in 2005 and also in the subsequent killing of Umesh Pal, a key witness in the BSP’s leader’s murder, in February this year. 

In the aftermath of the incident Uttar Pradesh Government on Sunday imposed Section 144 of CrPC in all the districts. 

All three assailants were arrested, informed police after Atiq and his brother were shot dead. 

“Three people have been arrested and they are being questioned. A journalist was also injured as he fell down and a constable sustained a bullet injury,” Prayagraj Police Commissioner Ramit Sharma said earlier. 

Uttar Pradesh Police on Sunday said that shooters who killed Atiq and Ashraf were posing as Journalists at the spot of the incident. 

Shortly after mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead in Prayagraj, former Uttar Pradesh chief minister and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav on Saturday said crime has reached its peak in the state and the morale of the “criminals” has grown by leaps and bounds. 

“Crime has reached its peak in UP and the morale of the criminals is high. When someone can be killed openly despite being surrounded by a security cordon, one can imagine the state of the general public. Due to this (alleged encounter killings), an ambience of fear is being created among the public. It seems that some people are deliberately creating such an ambience,” Akhilesh Yadav tweeted.

Allahu Akbar chants raised in a college in Gujarat’s Anand after two groups clash over eve-teasing, read details

On April 15, Hindu and Muslim students at a college in Anand in Gujarat clashed after Hindu students objected to eve-teasing by a Muslim student. As per reports, when Hindu students stopped a Muslim student from eve teasing, he brought his friends and started fighting. The Muslim students also raised ‘Allahu Akbar’ slogans on the college premises. The incident took place in the commerce college of Anand.

Reportedly some students were injured during the clash. The police were informed about the incident after they reached the college and controlled the situation. Local newspaper Naya Padkar reported that on the morning of April 15, a group of Hindu students was sitting in the college. They noticed a Muslim student was allegedly harassing a Hindu female student and laughing at her. It has become a regular thing in college. Hindu students rushed to the girl’s rescue. They scolded the Muslim student and warned him not to repeat it.

The Muslim student got agitated and called his friends on the college premises. They raised “Allahu Akbar” slogans on the premises which resulted in the clash. The Muslim student claimed that Hindu students forced him to chant “Jai Shri Ram” and said when he did not raise the slogan, Hindu students harassed him.

Reports suggest that a clash happened at the college canteen on the same day but they came to a compromise. However, in the afternoon, they again got into a scuffle. One student was reportedly injured and rushed to the hospital.

Anand DGP JN Panchal and his team reached the college and controlled the situation.

Mamata Banerjee gets schooled by netizens for pontificating on law and order in UP over Atiq Ahmed’s murder

Mamata Banerjee gets schooled by netizens for pontificating on law and order in UP over Atiq Ahmed’s murder

On 16th April 2023, West Bengal’s chief minister Mamata Banerjee pontificated on law and order over mafia Atiq Ahmed’s murder. Netizens reacted fiercely to her tweet in this regard and schooled her as she overlooked the situation in her home state where widespread violence prevailed in Howrah and other areas as Islamists pelted stones on the Ram Navami processions.

Mamata Banerjee tweeted, “I am shocked by the brazen anarchy and total collapse of law & order in Uttar Pradesh. It is shameful that perpetrators are now taking the law into their own hands, unfazed by the police and media presence. Such unlawful acts have no place in our constitutional democracy.”

It is notable that the Calcutta High Court noted that the violence orchestrated on the occasion of Ram Navami was prima-facie ‘pre-planned.’ Mamata Banerjee was therefore slammed by netizens who said that she is trying to preach to others when she can not ensure the law and order situation in the state she rules.

A Twitter handle named @BefittinFacts replied to Mamata Banerjee, “Just a few days back 2 TMC leaders were shot dead by TMC people over Panchayat election ticket. You didn’t even say a single word. 1st look at your state before looking at anywhere else.”

Advocate Ashutosh Dubey wrote, “We are shocked by reading tweets by you and talking about the collapse of law & order in UP. It is shameful that you can’t handle law & order in Bengal & talking about another state as CM is your responsibility to protect your state persons. Feeling bad for Bengal’s democracy.”

Another Twitter user Gyanendra Giri wrote, “You should have been shocked when TMC Goons were using r*pe and m*rder as political tools to silence the opponents. Stop shedding crocodile tears for Mafias, Gangsters for petty politics.”

Santosh Kumar demanded that he wants the UP model be implemented in the whole country. He wrote, “There is so much fear inside the UP mafia that even the goons have stopped taking bail and there is a Bengal where bombs explode every day. People kill each other, TMC leader burnt many people alive. All we need is the concept of UP in the whole country.”

Harsha Patel wrote, “What a joke! You must be the last one to be shocked. See who is talking. One who cannot handle law and order in her own state is preaching wisdom. At least you should refrain from commenting on law and order.”

It is notable that ever since Mamata Banerjee has come to power in West Bengal with her party Trinamool Congress getting an absolute majority in the state assembly elections, the law and order situation in the state has been a serious problem in the state. The pre-poll and post-poll violence in Bengal and attacks on Hindus and BJP workers were widely reported while little action was taken against the miscreants by the police that remained a mute spectators in many of the cases.

Recently, before the Ram Navami celebrations, Mamata Banerjee asked Hindus not to take the Ram Navami processions through what she called Muslim areas. She essentially legitimized land jihad by using this term as a chief minister of the state. When the Islamists attacked the Ram Navami processions she defended the Muslim miscreants by saying that Muslims cannot do such acts in the holy month of Ramzan. However, when the matter was probed and reports were tabled in front of the court, it underlined that the Ram Navami riots in West Bengal prima facie appear to be a pre-planned attempt rather than a spontaneous reaction. Therefore, as Mamata Banerjee called Atiq Ahmed’s murder a law and order problem in Uttar Pradesh, she immediately came under the radar of Twitter users who replied to her saying that law and order is actually a problem in her state and not Uttar Pradesh.

It is notable that mafia Atiq Ahmed was killed on 15th April 2023 at around 10:35 pm in Prayagraj when he was being taken to the government hospital for a medical checkup.

Indian and Pakistani Muslims unite to water down and reduce gangster Atiq Ahmed’s identity to only being a Muslim

A day after the assassination of Atiq Ahmed, Indian and Pakistani Muslims attempted to downplay the crimes of the gangster-politician by limiting him only to his ‘Muslim identity.’

They took to social media to cry foul over the assassination while suggesting that India had somehow turned into an unsafe place for all Muslims. Pakistani ‘journalist’ Hamza Azhar Salam claimed, “No Muslim or minority is safe in #India whether its Shahrukh Khan or Siddhu Moosewala.”

“Yogi Adityanath’s India celebrates the murder of Muslim politicians #AtiqueAhmed & Ashraf Ahmed who were ‘allowed to be killed’ in police custody whilst speaking to the media,” he added.

Another Pakistani handle ‘Economy.pk’ also referred to Atiq Ahmed as a ‘Muslim politician.’ It said, “Let’s be Thankful we have Pakistan!!! Muslim Politician Atiq Ahmed Ashraf Ahmed were Shot Dead in Front of Media & Police in UP, India.”

Pakistani politician, Irum Azeem Farooque, also played the ‘religion card’ in the hopes of garnering sympathy for the deceased gangster.

“The video of the shooting shows that Muslims are being targeted in a systematic way under the supervision of the Hindu government. Sad that such acts keep happening on a regular basis,” she claimed.

Pro Pakistani ‘journalist’ Qazi Shibli lamented that the media spoke to the family member of gangster Atiq Ahmed’s assassin. “How many times have we seen the media speaking to even victim families who are Muslims?” he asked a rhetorical question.

Twitter handle ‘Indian Muslim History’ also cried foul over the supposed ‘denial’ of protection to the gangster-politician.

“Indian police arrested Atiq Ahmed and allowed Hindu gangster to kill both arrested brothers while their hands are tied by police in front of media. This is end of every Muslim who raises their voice against Hindu terrorism in #India,” wrote another Islamist.

Meanwhile, a Twitter user named ‘Abu Azzam’ threatened to execute mass bombings in India so that the Hindu community develops ‘more fear of Muslims than death.’ It had tweeted, “Khun Ki Nadia bana denge (We will unleash rivers of blood).

The user posted another derogatory tweet, espousing violence against Hindus. “I have a dream to cut a Hindu’s throat while he’ll be chanting ‘gay shi raam,’ he had written.”

Interestingly, none of the social media users mentioned the criminal background of Atiq Ahmed. They ignored his criminal history to weave a sob story around his Muslim Faith.

Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead from point-blank range in Prayagraj on the night of April 15, 2023. The assassins were identified as Lavlesh Tiwari, Arun Maurya and Sunny.

According to Jagran, the trio informed that they took out Ahmed for killing innocent people. Atiq’s son Asad Ahmed and aide Ghulam were also neutralised in an encounter operation by the Uttar Pradesh Police earlier this week.
