Atiq Ahmed's Family Now: Dead, Jailed and Still Missing

Atiq Ahmed's Family Now: Dead, Jailed and Still Missing

A man named Atiq Ahmed was a gangster who also became a politician.

In 2023, he and his brother were shot and killed while police were taking them to a medical checkup.

The trouble for his family started after police said Atiq planned the murder of a lawyer named Umesh Pal from jail.

His son Asad was killed in a police encounter only two days before his own death.

Now, three years later, more sad news came.

Atiq's youngest son, Abaan, died in a car accident in Jhansi.

His two eldest sons are in jail for separate criminal cases.

His wife, sister, and sister-in-law are still missing, with rewards offered for information about them.

His two younger sons, who were kept in a children's home, were released to their family in 2023.

Sometimes the consequences of bad choices can hurt a whole family for many years.
