UP police has got a clean chit in the mafia Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf murder case. The judicial commission’s investigation report presented in the assembly on Thursday has declared the police spotless in this case and also said that the murder of Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf was not pre-planned. It was not possible for the police to avoid this incident. No negligence was committed by the police.
According to the investigation report of the murder of Uttar Pradesh mafia and former MP Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf, there was no collusion of the state and police machinery. The five-member commission constituted under the chairmanship of former Chief Justice of Allahabad High Court Dilip Baba Saheb Bhosale concluded that this murder was a pre-planned conspiracy which could not have been avoided. The commission’s investigation did not find any evidence of the involvement of the police or the state machinery.
The commission submitted its report to the government, after which the Yogi Cabinet approved the tabling of this investigation report in the House. Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf were killed on 15 April 2023 at Colvin Hospital in Prayagraj. After reviewing the statements of 87 witnesses, CCTV and video footage during the investigation, the commission found that the incident happened suddenly and the response of the police personnel was immediate and normal.
The murder took place in nine seconds, leaving no time for the police to intervene. The report also mentioned that the police had deployed more personnel than the standard to protect Atiq and Ashraf. Security was tight from the jail to the remand. However, the presence of the media hindered the work of the police and questions were raised about the activities of media persons during the murder.
