Yesterday, UP Court sends the three killers of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed to 14-day judicial custody.

The shooters identified as Sunny Singh, Lavlesh Tiwari, and Arun Maurya were produced before the court earlier in the day.

The accused will be produced before the Prayagraj court on June 7.

Gangsters Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed were shot dead by men posing as journalists on April 15 night this year, while they were being taken for a medical examination in Prayagraj. Both the gangsters collapsed on the spot after being shot close to point-blank range.

Atiq Ahmed was accused in the 2005 murder of Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) MLA Raju Pal and also in the killing of a key witness in that case, Umesh Pal, in February this year.
