Prayagraj: The CJM court sent gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf to 14-day judicial custody on Thursday in connection with the Umesh Pal murder case.

The two were produced before Chief Judicial Magistrate Dinesh Gautam at 11:10 am amid heavy security and they remained in the court for over two hours as the arguments proceeded.

Ahmed and Ashraf, alias Khalid Azim, will be kept in Naini jail in Prayagraj till April 26, said advocate Vikram Singh, the counsel for Umesh Pal’s wife Jaya.

Singh said the arguments on the application for their police custody were yet to be completed.

The CJM court’s verdict came on a day the UP Police had killed Ahmed’s son Asad and one of his aides shooter Ghulam in an encounter in Jhansi. Both Asad and Ghulam were also wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case. (with Agency inputs)
