PRAYAGRAJ, Dec. 2 -- Three days after Prayagraj police registered an FIR (first information report) 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. Prayagraj police had on November 27 registered an FIR at Dhoomanganj police station against Aban, Instagram user Hamaz who allegedly uploaded the video, and other unidentified individuals. The case was filed under sections 352 (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace) and 353(2) (promoting public mischief by creating enmity or ill will between groups) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). "Call records and close contacts of Aban, as well as associates linked to him, are being scanned. The motive behind posting the video is yet to be ascertained," assistant commissioner of police (ACP) (Dhoomanganj) Ajendra Yadav confirmed. After Atiq and his brother Ashraf were gunned down in April 2023, police had found Atiq's minor sons Ahzam and Aban living alone at the family's Chakia residence. The police placed them in a child protection home for seven months before handing their custody to their aunt, Parveen Ahmed, in Kaushambi, following a Supreme Court ruling on October 10, 2024....
