PRAYAGRAJ, Oct. 30 -- Prayagraj police on Tuesday filed a charge sheet under the Gangsters Act in a special court against slain don-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed's sons, Mohammad Umar and Ali Ahmed, along with 10 others, in connection with the Umesh Pal murder and conspiracy case. Both Umar and Ali are accused of being involved in the murder of advocate Umesh Pal and his two police bodyguards in the Sulem Sarai area on February 24, 2023. The case under Gangsters Act was registered last year at Dhoomanganj police station against 12 accused for extortion, issuing threats, and planning murders, police officials said. The charge sheet has been filed against Ali and Umar, and 10 others, including Atiq's lawyer Vijay Mishra, Khan Saulat Hanif, Ekhlaq Ahmed, Sadaqat Khan, Atiq's wife Shaista Parveen, sister Ayesha Noori, Ashraf's wife Zainab Fatima, and shooters Guddu Muslim, Mohammad Arman, and Sabir. However, Shaista Parveen, Ayesha Noori, Zainab, Guddu Muslim, Arman, and Sabir remain absconding. Police sources said the filing of the charge sheet under the Gangster Act will strengthen the case, make it harder for the accused to secure bail, and facilitate confiscation of their properties. Dhoomanganj station house officer Rajesh Upadhyay confirmed that the charge sheet had been filed in court, though police officials declined to specify which sections of the Gangster Act were invoked. The court has fixed a date for the next hearing in the coming days. Sources said Umar and Ali had taken over leadership of Atiq Ahmed's IS-227 gang, managing extortion and other illegal operations from inside jail. Umar is lodged in Lucknow jail, while Ali was recently shifted from Naini to Jhansi jail. In the gangster report prepared in October 2024, Ali was declared the gang leader....
