Atiq Ahmed: Following the murders of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf in Prayagraj by three assailants posing as media personnel, the Centre will create standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the safety and security of journalists. According to sources, the Ministry of Home Affairs, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will take up the SOPs.
Murder was filmed by cameras
As the gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf were being brought to a medical college for an medical exam, the killing, which shocked the nation late on Saturday night, was committed in the midst of a sizable Uttar Pradesh Police force. It is important to remember that the murder was filmed by cameras, and the suspects had declared themselves to be journalists at the time of the entrance of the couple. While Atiq and Ashraf were chatting to reporters, they were shot dead at close range by three guys who were quickly apprehended. When they arrived at the medical college, the cops were already on the scene and accompanying them.
