JUSTICE OR
MURDER 26.4.23
On
the night of 23rd April two mafia dons Atiq Ahmed and his brother
Ashraf were shot down by three persons while being escorted by the police for
medical checkup in Prayagraj. Some say it was justified and some say it was
unlawful. I don’t want to go into the politics of this . I just want to analyse
the issue .If some enemies of theirs killed the dons then the matter ends. But
if it was a planned murder with the connivance of the police or the state or
both then it is a matter of concern. I only state below facts which came to my
notice through the media and leave upon you to draw conclusions.
1.
Why were they taken for a medical examination at 10.30 PM? The gates of the
Naini jail where they were lodged closes at 6PM. They should have taken them in
daytime.
2.
They had already expressed the fear earlier that they would be killed. Keeping this
in view a doctor could have been arranged to visit the jail premises for a
medical checkup.
3.
Why did the police van carrying them was stopped at the outer gate of the
hospital and not went inside and parked. This
would have prevented them from walking and becoming target of someone
lurking around to shoot them.
4.
How did the killers know that Atiq and
Ashraf would be at the gates of a particular hospital at 10.30PM. How did the
killers knew that media would be there so that they disguised themselves as
reporters with camera and mikes. Indeed how did the media know that they would
be reaching there at 10.30PM. The information was obviously leaked out.
5.The
shooting lasted for 22 seconds and 14 rounds were fired without a single shot
fired by the police in retaliation .Was it not the duty of the police to save the
prisoners in their custody and to fire at the killers. It was posse of 17
policemen and they all stood gaping at
the killings as if they were under orders not to interfere.
6.
The killers attacked with a Turkish pistol the cost of which is about 7lakhs.
Obviously
these costly pistols were supplied to them by someone who wanted the job done
Decide
for yourself whether it was a planned job or just a random killing .
