In the wake of the mortal remains of Asad, son of infamous gangster Ateeq Ahmed, being brought to Prayagraj for last rites, security has been beefed up in the surrounding areas of Ahmed’s residence. The Uttar Pradesh police have deployed additional personnel and set up barricades near Ahmed’s house to prevent any untoward incidents.
Asad Ahmed was a history sheeter and had multiple cases of murder and extortion registered against him. He was killed in a police encounter on April 12. After the post-mortem examination, his body was handed over to his family members and was brought to Prayagraj on Thursday.
As per the sources, the police had received information that some anti-social elements may create disturbances during the last rites of Asad Ahmed. Hence, they decided to beef up the security in the area.
