Prayagraj. Don and former MP Atiq Ahmed is lodged in Sabarmati Jail in Gujarat. Now it has become even more difficult for his younger son Ali. Police has announced a reward of Rs 50000 on Ali. Ali is accused of murderous attack on a property dealer Zeeshan alias Janu and demanding extortion of 5 crores. He is absconding for 3 months. Earlier, the police had announced a reward of 25,000 on Ali. Now it has been extended. Several police teams are actively searching for Ateeq’s son. Police claim that soon Ali Ateeq will be nabbed.
According to the police, the incident of attack on the property dealer happened on December 31 last year. Zeeshan had given a complaint to the police that Ali, along with his accomplice Asad and Arif alias Khacholi, and a few others, had bulldozed his office. After this, he was beaten with the butt of arms and talked to Atiq Ahmed on the phone. Ateeq asked him to extort Rs 5 crore. Police had registered a case against 8 people in this case. So far not a single accused has been caught. For not arresting Ali, the police had declared him a 25 thousand prize. Even after this, Ali could not be traced. After this, the SSP had recommended to increase the reward in the past.
On the other hand, Zeeshan says that he and the family are in panic due to non-arrest of Ali and other accused. According to the victim, a few days ago the video of a named Arif in this case also went viral. In this, he was abusing and threatening by taking the name of Zeeshan. Zeeshan has also complained about this to the police. Police say that they will arrest the accused in any case and punish them under strict sections.
