Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal has raised a series of questions over the killing of Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf , asking why they were being taken for a medical checkup by police at 10 pm when there was no emergency and why it was “open to the media”.
Gangster-turned-politician Ahmad and his brother Ashraf, both in handcuffs, were shot dead by three men posing as journalists on Saturday night when they were answering reporters’ queries while being escorted by police personnel to a medical college in Prayagraj for a checkup.
In a tweet, Sibal said, “Atiq and Ashraf (The art of elimination). Odd: 1) 10pm for medical check up? 2) No medical emergency 3) made victims walk 4) open to media? 5) assassins unknown to each other at the spot ? 6) weapons above 7 lakhs 7) well trained to shoot! 8) All 3 surrendered.” The assailants were arrested soon after the dramatic shootout that took place in full view of camera crews.
