Asad Ahmed and Ghulam Maksudan, the accused in the Umesh Pal murder case who were gunned down by the Uttar Pradesh Police in Jhansi on Thursday, planned to attack the police convoy transporting Asad's father, gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed. However, reports say the attack was not intended to free Atiq but rather to highlight a security lapse in order to embarrass the UP government.
