PRAYAGRAJ, Oct. 24 -- A local court of Prayagraj has rejected the bail application of slain gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed's son Mohammad Umar in the Umesh Pal murder case. Special Judge (SC/ST) Act Ram Pratap Singh Rana on October 18 dismissed the bail application filed by Mohammad Umar. According to the applicant, he was lodged in jail on the day of the incident and was falsely implicated in the case. Advocate Vikram Sinha appeared for informant Jaya Pal and opposed the bail application. The court, considering the seriousness of the offence, rejected the bail application of the accused. Umesh Pal and his two police security guards - Sandeep Nishad and Raghvendra Singh- were shot dead outside Pal's home in Dhoomanganj police station area of Prayagraj on February 24, 2023. htc...
