‘Car overturn’ claims heat up in UP as cops bring Atiq Ahmed to Prayagraj

UP Police is bringing mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed from Gujarat’s Sabarmati jail to Prayagraj jail on March 26. Ahmad will be produced in MP/MLA court in Prayagraj on Mar 28 in connection with a kidnapping case. Earlier UP Minister JPS Rathore’s ‘car overturning’ comment stirred a row in the entire state. Referring to CM Yogi’s “Mitti Mein Miladengey” remark, Rathore said, “If any criminal tries to run away from car, there is chance of vehicle getting overturned.” Commenting on Rathore’s remark, SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav said that CM Yogi must have told Rathore where the car will overturn. Yadav also claimed that help from Google and America can reveal how and when Dubey’s car was overturned In response to Yadav, Rathore said he meant that “a criminal after being arrested should seat calmly in car else the vehicle might overturn due to disbalance.” Ahmad is the main accused in the 2005 murder case of then-BSP MLA Raju Pal. He was recently booked in murder case of Umesh Pal, a key witness in Raju Pal’s case. Ahmad has been lodged in Sabarmati jail in Gujarat since June 2019.
