The sister of late gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad and his brother Ashraf has filed a plea in the Supreme Court seeking for an independent commission to probe into their custodial and extra-judicial deaths. Aisha Noori is asking for a commission, headed by a retired Supreme Court judge, to conduct an inquiry into the killings. Atiq Ahmad and Ashraf were shot dead in April while being escorted by police to a medical college in Prayagraj by three men pretending to be journalists. In addition, the plea also requested an investigation into the alleged campaign of encounter killings, arrests and harassment carried out by the Uttar Pradesh government against her family.
