Asad, the son of slain gangster Atiq Ahmed, and Ghulam, one of Asad’s associates, were killed in encounter with UP Police on Thursday, April 13, 2023<\/a>, in Jhansi. The two were wanted in connection with the February 24 murder of Umesh Pal. Atiq Ahmed, a history-sheeter with more than 100 complaints against him, and his brother Ashraf Ahmed were shot dead on live TV on Saturday, April 15, 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, several social media users have shared a photograph of Samajwadi Party leader and former Uttar Pradesh chief minister Akhilesh Yadav amid a crowd of people and claimed that two persons at the far right of the photograph are the murderers of Atiq Ahmed. Thus, they suggested that Atiq and Ashraf’s murders were supporters of Akhilesh Yadav and that Akhilesh was to be blamed for the murders.<\/p>\n
