Allahabad High Court grants Atiq Ahmad's sons parole for burial
A young man named Aban Ahmad died in a sad car accident.
Aban was 21 years old and was riding in an SUV with friends when the vehicle crashed into a divider on a road in Jhansi district, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
His friend Sonu, 25, also died in the crash, and three other people in the car were hurt and taken to a hospital.
Aban's father was Atiq Ahmad, a gangster and politician who was shot dead in 2023.
Two of Aban's brothers, Ali and Umar, are in jail right now.
A court called the Allahabad High Court gave the brothers special permission, called parole, to attend Aban's burial.
They will be allowed to go only with police watching over them, and they must go back to jail when the funeral is over.
The burial will happen on Saturday morning at the Kasari-Masari graveyard in Prayagraj.
Aban was on his way to visit his brother Ali in jail when the accident happened.
The Allahabad High Court granted parole on Friday to Atiq Ahmad's jailed sons Ali and Umar to attend the burial of their younger brother Aban Ahmad.
Aban Ahmad, 21, and his friend Sonu, 25, died on Thursday when their SUV crashed into a road divider in Jhansi district, Uttar Pradesh.
A division bench of Justices Ajay Bhanot and Divesh Chandra Samant passed the parole order on a petition filed by Atiq Ahmad's sister Parveen Qureshi.

The parole is under police custody and protection, and the brothers must return to their jails after the funeral, without addressing public gatherings or the media.
