      Dead Body, Death Video: What People Are Searching About Atiq Ahmed

      It all unfolded on live television. Gangster-turned politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf Ahmed were talking to the media when three assailants opened fire at them on Saturday evening in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. They fell on the ground as everyone around them ran for cover, hearing bullets.

      Atiq and Ashraf were being taken for medical examination on Saturday evening when three shooters, reportedly posing as media persons, shot them dead. The assassins, identified as Sunny Singh, Lavlesh Tiwari and Arun Maurya, were apprehended immediately. The police said they carried out the shootout to get famous by "eliminating Atiq's gang".

      Atiq, a former member of Parliament, had face several criminal charges such as murder, extortion and kidnapping. In March, an Uttar Pradesh court sentenced Atiq and two others to life imprisonment in a 2006 kidnapping case of lawyer Umesh Pal.

      The video of Atiq's killing was shared widely on social media which showed that the assailants shouted 'Jai Shri Ram ' slogans. The incident has become a hot topic on social media and news channels as activists and opposition leaders question the security lapse as the Atiq and Ashraf were killed in presence of cops.

      The video of the assassination was also aired by some news channels. In fact, #AtiqueAhmedDead is still trending on Twitter with around 24.5k tweets.
