PRAYAGRAJ, Nov. 30 -- Three days after Prayagraj police registered an FIR over a viral video of Aban Ahmed, 20, the youngest son of slain gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed, investigators have expanded the probe to examine his wider circle of associates, scan call records and explore possible links with ongoing gang activity, officials said.

Sources said Aban had been in touch with individuals outside his age group after he visited his elder brother, Ali Ahmed, in Naini jail. Following that meeting, Ali was abruptly shifted to Jhansi jail at 6 am on October 1 under heavy security. The shifting order, which had arrived only a few hours earlier on the night of September 30, did not mention any specific reason for the transfer.
