The next hearing in the case is going to be on the 29th of April and today the bodies of those of that gangster, former MP art em and his brother, who were shot at point blank range while they were in police custody in pray uh were buried earlier this evening. I come to you from just 100 metres away from that burial ground where the last Rios of gangster brothers Atiq and Ashraf, they have been completed. In fact, people are coming out of the burial grounds here heavy barricading here. But the people are now coming out. Not many people were actually allowed there close to 40 to 50 people were allowed there. It's still yet to be confirmed as who were actually present as far as family is concerned. But here you can see the burial is complete. The last strikes are done and you can see people are actually now coming out of the burial ground. There are reports of the fact that two of his sons, those were there in kept in juvenile justice homes. They came here and in fact his father in law actually took charge of the last strike. And here you can see the kind of police deployment. In fact, rapid action forces are back in action again. Here, you can see they are. They are on foot. They are making sure that nothing untoward happens. Senior police officials, rapid action forces of demands. All of them are on the ground, given the fact that it's an extremely sensitive area. But the news that we are bringing to you right now is that the burial, the last strikes have been completed. It's extremely significant as far as the Pradesh politics is concerned, given the fact that you know a enjoyed massive clout. As far as Eastern Pradesh is concerned, the fact that he could still enjoy that kind of clout even from inside jail. There are 100 over 100 criminal cases against him. He was recently convicted for lifetime imprisonment in that kidnap in the kidnapping case. So given all of that, and given Ati's history, this particular moment is extremely significant. And here close to 40 people were actually present inside the burial ground. The police was made sure that there was heavy barricading and not many people are actually allowed inside. And here you can see people are now coming out and the police officials are now back intention to make sure that nothing untoward happens in TRIA with cameraperson. Pavan Kumar and the U. P government has ordered a high level probe into the shooting incident. The chief minister has formed a three member judicial commission to investigate the incident, but many questions remain. Will these questions be answered? Will any heads roll? A emer who was shot dead while he was in the custody of the U. P. Police had around 100 cases lodged against him, including for murder, attempt to murder, kidnapping and extortion. He represented that notorious U P phenomena the strongman politician, a gangster turned politician who was patronised by political parties in power. A Emon was a gangster and also a former MP and an accused in the high profile B PM Raj's killing way back in 2005. What the last words of one of Uttar Pradesh's most dreaded Gangsters, former MP Atik Kama, before he and his ex brother Ashraf were shot dead by three men who the police now say are seasoned criminals outside a Pray Raj hospital. On Saturday night, the murder took place just three days after the local court granted Atiq and his brother's custody to the Pray Raj police for interrogation in the case over this February shootout in the city in which Umesh Pal, a key witness to a 2005 political murder in which Atiq was the main accused, was gunned down in broad daylight. The police had told court Atiq was behind the conspiracy to murder Romesh Pal, and his custody was needed to investigate the case. I think's killing is perhaps the most shocking incident as far as up and its politics is concerned, given the kind of clout he enjoyed even from prison, particularly as far as is the Pradesh, is concerned. He had over 100 criminal cases against him and he was recently convicted for life imprisonment in a kidnapping case. He was a five term and a former MP as well. 62 year old Atiq Ahmad's first criminal case was 44 years ago in 1979 when he was accused of murder. But he rose to prominence in the nineties and early two thousands when Utter Pradesh experienced political instability and multiple rounds of president's rule. Reports say Atiq became the boss of an extortion and land grabbing syndicate in the Da Laba town and in eastern U. This was also the time Asif entered politics, winning the election from the Allahabad West constituency in 1989 as an independent and later winning the same seat from a Samajwadi Party and a ticket. A contested the 2004 looks of her polls from the full court seat. Once Jala Leros looks up her seat and won in 2005, Atiq was named as the man accused in the murder of BS PM Raju, his political rival. In 2006. Atiq was accused of kidnapping Umesh Pal, the key witness in the Raj murder case. Two years later, in 2008, Atiq surrendered before the U. P Police and was expelled by the Samajwadi Party, out on bail later and not convicted. In any case, Atiq contested both the 2014 and 2019 looks of her pulse and lost. Atiq was arrested in an assault case in 2017 and then moved to the Saar Mati prison in Ahmedabad in 2019 on Supreme Court orders after being accused of orchestrating a kidnapping while in jail. This brazen daylight killing of Umesh Pal, the 2005 political murder witness in Praag Raj this February in which Atiq son Assad now killed in a political encounter with one of the shooters and this political war of words between Ana and Ale in the with Saha a day later led to a fresh crackdown on a In the past month, the gangster come politician was brought to Praya Raj from the Saar Mati prison twice both times by road, with the media following every move. Ironically, ATI's killers posed as media persons to get access, according to the police, a rise in crime and politics in U mirrored that of Mukhtar and Sari, another East politician and dreaded Mafia Don, who first won an election on a BSP ticket in 1996 before switching parties for multiple M terms. After Yogi Ana, whose politics was centred in East Gour as the head of the Gona Temple and multiple term MP from the seat, became chief minister in March 2017, Ansari and his family have faced multiple criminal cases and the police say property or land worth over 200 k rupees was freed from the Mukhtar Ansari gang. But with a killing. Questions are being asked on how such a brazen murder could take place with Ta and Saraf Shukla, a Pan and and the Delhi chief minister. KAL was questioned for nearly nine hours by the Central Bureau of Investigation in the liquor policy case. He was questioned as a witness in a case which investigator investigators say involves corruption in the framing of the liquor policy to benefit a liquor lobby. Speaking to the press after these nine hours of questioning, the Delhi chief minister said he was convinced that they don't have anything on on us not a single piece of evidence, Mr Kal told reporters after reaching home from the C B R headquarters in the national capital, adding that he will discuss more about this issue in the special session of the Delhi assembly called by the Ahmadi Party government tomorrow, that is Monday. The L G has already raised issue with this special session alleged Shara Gula Jude Hair Hair or Gandhi Rajni is separated a party party I I have basic ideology or Delhi Chief Minister Rake was questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation for over nine hours in connection with this daily local policy case. Casal joined the investigation post 11 AM and he was questioned until almost till 8 30 PM over nine hours of questioning drilling by the Central Bureau of Investigation. Those sources maintain that Kez is still a witness in this particular case. The agency wanted to get further clarity on some of the important issues that cropped up during the course of the investigation. One such issue is that Aman, the Danis officer who was the then secretary to former Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manis Suo during his statement before a court he had told the officials that sometime in mid March 2021 he was summoned to the residence of Casal. And that's where Man Sua handed over a pen drive that contained the draught policy, which was subsequently finalised as the final draught of the policy. And that's where the agency wanted to get more information on this particular meeting, whether this particular meeting was chaired by Kesri. If so, what was the of this particular meeting is something that the agency wanted to know because, according to our sources, this particular drive had the announced profit margin of 12%. And that's why the agency wanted to know what's the basis of announcing the profit margin from 6 to 12% and also very important claim. According to our sources, the daily liquor policy was placed before the cabinet twice. On both occasions. It was differed, and only when the LG ordered an inquiry into this entire matter. And that's when the cabinet again this particular policy, was brought before the cabinet and again the cabinet headed by KAL cleared it. And that's where the agency wants to agency wanted to know. Why was it why wasn't it cleared? Why wasn't it? Why was it deferred twice without being cleared when it was placed before the Cabinet are the kind of information that the agency wanted to know from Kaz? And what we are being told is that after nine hours of questioning, his statement has been recorded and he has not been served any further summons with camera Person Pa. This is for today was a long day for arrival as his questioning with the CBI went on for about nine hours. And Arvin Caval also did a press conference at his residence after the CBI questioning. And he said that 56 questions were asked to me from the starting of the liquor policy from 2020 to the end of it. And now, after my questioning, I'm even more convinced that CBI doesn't have anything on us. They do not have any iota of evidence, and we stand for anti corruption. We stand for good governance, and that's why the BJP is scared of us and that is why they want to finish us through the misuse of the investigation agencies. That's what Avial said tomorrow. He has called a special session of the Delhi assembly, where he is going to discuss with all his party leaders and as to what the future course of action is going to be as far as the Amami party is concerned. But now it is not just an investigation. It is not just about the alleged liquor scam it has become, you know, a full blown war between the Amami Party and the party, a party and arrival and all the party leaders. All the party workers are also trying to convert it into a Kejriwal versus Narendra Modi. That's the political strategy being taken by the Amami party. And that's the political messaging they are trying to send out with camera person Sukumaran for And let's Go Across the pool bound Karnataka, where Rahul Gandhi returned to the Kolar gold fields where he had made that controversial Modi surname remark in 2019 and the former Karnataka Chief minister Doug Shear announced that he is resigning from the B JP after he was denied a ticket for the state assembly elections. She now looks set to join the congress tomorrow in the presence of Mr Suraya and D. People of Karnataka will not forgive and LA a visibly upset. Bjp's parliamentary board member and Katica full time unlucky CM openly criticised BJP's tall words Judi Shater and Lakshman Sadi for quitting the party. A late night last minute effort by Bjp's top leaders Pra Joshi, union minister her Pradhan, chief minister Basra Boma at the doorsteps of former chief minister and rebel former BJP leader Jati Shear's residence was unsuccessful. I wanted only for the why you want a ticket to 76 world people in 76 76 so many people who are worth 72. I am 67 so many elder persons are there 60 72 73 74 76. Why they are not replaced, why not? She was offered a union minister birth and a Raja Saba seat. But a defiant Shetter rejected the offer and instead has threatened the BJP that denying him a ticket will cost the BJP nearly 20 to 25 seats in north, while the P JP is busy firefighting and doing some damage control. After denying tickets to BJP loyalists, Rahul Gandhi began his first election rally, post his disqualification in Kollar, Karnataka. In what is seen as a mark of defiance. Rahul Gandhi was in Kola today addressing the Jay Rally. Mr Rahul Gandhi remains defiant. In fact, he made a comeback right here in Kola district of Kaka, where he made that controversial Modi surname remark back in 2019 ahead of Loba elections. In fact, he did, of course, issue a statement saying that whether he is disqualified or sent to jail, it makes no difference to him. Get there. I I see here. Rahul Gandhi's skiing attack on the prime minister Modi was seen by the BJP as an insult to other backward classes. Mr. Gandhi has refused to apologise for his comment despite his subsequent conviction and disqualification, induction of new faces and also showing door especially to old timers. Will that give a win for the BJP or the Congress, who is riding high on the anti incumbency aspect and also cashing in on the BJP's rebel? What will it be? Canara will decide where it goes to polls on May 10 in with Kumar J. For
