Many questions are now being raised regarding the failure of the police to catch the five prize shooters in the Umesh Pal murder case. The biggest question is whether Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad will also not come in the hands of the police? In fact, till now the police have not been able to arrest any member of Atiq’s family. From Atiq to his sons, whenever they wanted, they surrendered in the court as per their own wish.
In 2007, in the Mayawati government, an arrest warrant was issued against Atiq Ahmed in the Raju Pal murder case. A reward of 20 thousand was declared on him by the police. After being on the run for almost a year, Atiq Ahmed was dramatically arrested in Delhi. However, the buzz was that Atiq himself surrendered to the police.
In 2016, Atiq was not arrested even in the case of breaking into Shuats. While earlier he was out on bail and had continuously violated the conditions of bail by committing criminal incidents. In 2017, Atiq himself surrendered after reaching Naini police station.
Before Asad and Atiq’s elder son Umar, wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case, the biggest reward in his clan was his brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf. A reward of one lakh was also announced on him. Despite all efforts, he could not be arrested. On July 3, 2020, the police claimed to have dramatically arrested him from his in-laws’ house in Hatwa, Kaushambi. However, the discussion was that he had surrendered before the police due to fear of encounter.
Mo. age
In February 2020, the CBI announced a reward of two lakhs on Asad’s eldest brother Mohammad Umar. Umar was named along with his father and his other accomplices in the case of abducting Lucknow’s property dealer Mohit Jaiswal and beating him up in Deoria Jail and was absconding since the FIR was lodged in December 2018. In August last year, Umar surrendered in the CBI court.
Ali Ahmed
In December 2021, Atiq’s second son Ali Ahmed absconded after being named in the case filed at Kareli police station in connection with the murderous attack on property dealer Zeeshan and demanding extortion of five crores. On him, first the district police had announced a reward of 25 thousand and then IG Range Prayagraj had declared a reward of 50 thousand. All the police teams kept searching for him but to no avail. On July 30 last year, Ali had surrendered in the court in the same case by dodging the police.
