Atiq Ahmed's youngest son Aaban killed in Jhansi road accident
A young man named Aaban was going by car with his friends from Prayagraj to Jhansi in India.
He wanted to visit his older brother Ali, who is in jail in Jhansi.
The white car was going very fast and crashed into a hard divider on the highway.
The crash was so strong that the front of the car was completely smashed.
Aaban and his friend Sonu, who were sitting in the front, sadly died.
Three other friends were hurt and taken to the hospital.
Aaban was about 20 years old and was the youngest son of Atiq Ahmed, a famous former gangster and politician who was killed in 2023.
Some reports say the driver tried to avoid an animal that came onto the road, and police say the car was speeding and went out of control.
Police are now investigating what happened and have ordered post-mortem checks on the bodies.
This sad accident shows that driving too fast can be very dangerous.
Aaban Ahmed, reportedly 20 and the youngest of slain gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed's five sons, was killed when the white Hyundai Creta he was travelling in crashed into a road divider on the Kanpur-Jhansi highway in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, on August 6, 2026.
His friend Mohammad Shakir alias Sonu, son of Raja, also died; SSP Jhansi BBGTS Murthy confirmed two deaths, though one report suggests additional deaths, so the toll differs across reports.
Three occupants — Ahjam of Badshahi Mandi, Mohammad Zaid of Kotwali and Umar Ahmed of Pura Mufti, all residents of Prayagraj — were seriously injured and are undergoing treatment at the government medical college.
Aaban was travelling from Prayagraj to Jhansi to meet his jailed brother Ali Ahmed, lodged in Jhansi district jail since being shifted from Naini Central Jail on October 1, 2025; some reports say he was going to meet two jailed brothers.
Police said the SUV was speeding and lost control before hitting the divider — one report says the driver swerved to avoid an animal — and post-mortems were ordered; the accident comes over three years after the 2023 killings of Atiq Ahmed and another son, Asad.
