Lucknow : A hearing was held in the Supreme Court today on the petition filed in connection with the murder of mafia Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf in police custody in Prayagraj. The Supreme Court asked many questions to the Uttar Pradesh government during the hearing. The Supreme Court said that we have seen this incident on TV. Why was the vehicle carrying the mafia brothers not taken directly to the hospital. Why was his parade being conducted?
Answering the court’s question, the Uttar Pradesh government said that they have appointed a commission to look into the matter. The Supreme Court has sought a status report from the UP government on the investigation into the murder of Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf. The Supreme Court has also sought an affidavit from the state government in the Asad encounter case. It also asked the UP government that what action has been taken on the report of Justice BS Chauhan regarding police functioning after the Vikas Dubey encounter.
The court will hear the matter after three weeks
The court has asked to hear the matter in three weeks. A bench of Justice S Ravindra Bhatt and Justice Dipankar Dutta will hear the matter. Mukul Rohatgi appeared in the court on behalf of the Uttar Pradesh government. Rohatgi said that we have formed a commission of two former Chief Justices for the investigation. The UP government is working fast in this matter.
On the other hand, the Supreme Court will hear the petition demanding investigation into the murder in the presence of the police after three weeks. In the petition, there has been a demand to set up an independent expert committee under the chairmanship of a former judge to investigate the murder of the mafia brothers. On the other hand, advocate Vishal Tiwari has filed a petition in the Supreme Court demanding the investigation of 183 encounters in Uttar Pradesh since 2017 by an expert committee under the supervision of a retired Supreme Court judge.
