‘Zinda’ Atiq Brothers give more ‘Sanjeevani’ to Yogi’s government

Atiq Brothers have gone ‘silent’ after the shootout. Both the brothers were dreaded criminals. Even if these two were hanged not once or twice, but even for ten times, their crime would not have ended, but after the shootout, those people who had business-political and criminal relations with Atiq must have heaved a sigh of relief. In police custody, Atiq Brothers could reveal many such secrets, which would not only become a noose around the neck of some influential people, not only would their careers be ruined, but they could also get into the trouble of questioning the police. These influential people also include businessmen, government representatives and politicians. This fact also cannot be denied that even if the opposition is attacking the Yogi government on the death of the Atiq brothers, but the truth is that the Yogi government has not benefited from the killing of these dreaded criminal brothers, but politically The damage is done. Everyone knows that with which leader and party the relations of Atiq Brothers are the most intense. If Atik Bhai had opened his mouth in the inquiry, the loss to the BJP would not have been as much as it seems to be happening due to his death.

If the survival of Atiq-Ashfaq was not a profitable deal for the Yogi government, then probably the attitude of the Yogi government against these two brothers would have been different and changed after the Umesh Pal murder case. The car of these brothers could also overturn, which was being discussed a lot. It is being said that Atiq Ahmed, who was brought from Sabarmati Jail to Prayagraj for questioning in the Umesh Pal murder case, has revealed many secrets during the police remand. Police had also raided some places on Atiq Ahmed’s behest, from where he also got some illegal weapons. The ED had also interrogated the Atiq brothers and raids were also conducted at many places in Prayagraj. It had also come to the fore that the names of some of the people involved in crime, politics and business with him by Atiq Ahmed had caused uneasiness among many people. However, no one knows anything about whose names were mentioned.

Atiq Ahmed was active in the world of crime for nearly four decades and in politics for nearly three decades. Ahmed’s criminal records also increased after joining politics but it also increased his political stature. During this, he remained in some political parties and had relations with big leaders of all political parties. During this, Atiq’s wealth had also reached thousands of crores, which he had earned through panic. There would hardly be any big businessman or big builder in Prayagraj in whose business Ateeq Ahmed did not have a direct or indirect hand. Not only this, Atiq Ahmed, a five-time MLA and one-time MP, may have been related to the Bahujan Samaj Party in his last days, but he had personal relations with leaders of all parties, including BJP leaders. Those who know Atiq Ahmed closely say that Atiq definitely had political opposition with some parties and leaders, but there was no such thing as political enmity.

That is why only two angles are visible in the murder of Atiq Brothers. One is political and the other is of mafia. No matter how many builder-businessmen are working with them, it seems unlikely that they would be involved in this kind of murder. There can definitely be an issue related to political gain and loss, which will come out only in the investigation. On the other hand, those keeping a close eye on the news of the crime world feel that the Yogi government is taking a strict stand against the mafias, but under the guise of this, some other mafias of UP are also trying to settle their opponents so that their Supremacy can be maintained.

Not only the mafia or politicians, but after the death of Atiq’s son Asad, the policemen were also afraid that Atiq’s stay could be dangerous for them too. Ateeq’s close friends say that during the hearing after Asad’s encounter, Ateeq had said in front of some of his people that he knew who was behind those who killed Asad. Perhaps even threatened to see. In such a situation, the policemen who would have been involved, must have been in fear of Atiq Ahmed’s survival.
