June 03, 2019
Prayagraj/Ahmedabad: Mafia turned politician Atiq Ahmed was at last shifted to Ahmedabad on the direction of the Supreme Court today. The criminal, who was jailed in Uttar Pradesh at the Naini Central jail, was taken to Varanasi under heavy security cover and later he was taken to Ahmedabad by a regular flight. Several senior police officials accompanied the criminal. Former member of parliament Atiq was later taken to Sabarmati jail.
After receiving the letter from the Gujarat government, the UP government had issued instructions to shift Atiq from Phulpur, Atiq to a jail in Ahmedabad. UP jail administration paid Rs 3 lakh to their counterpart in Ahmedabad against his expenditure in jail. The draft has been sent along with Atiq and authorities would pay further after three months.
The Times of India reports that although the orders of shifting him to Ahmedabad was received by the jail administration three days back but since Atiq had complained about high sugar level and back pain, the shifting was delayed.
Atiq, who was shifted to Deoria jail from Naini, is accused of abducting a real estate businessman of Lucknow who was taken to Atiq and beaten in Deoria jail. He was made to sign many documents in the jail. After a complaint was lodged in Lucknow, state government had suspended several officials of Deoria jail.
After this incident, Atiq Ahmed was sent from Deoria Jail to Bareli Jail. But on April 19th, Ahmed was shifted back to Naini Central Jail.
However, after the directives of the Supreme Court, which would now monitor the case, Atiq has been transferred to Ahmedabad.
