The Prayagraj Police have arrested two members of slain Atiq Ahmed‘s gang from the Chaufatka area and seized seven crude bombs from their possession.
During questioning, the duo revealed that they had been carrying these bombs since the killing of lawyer Umesh Pal in February this year. They have been evading the police since then.
They have been booked under Section 4/5 of the Explosives Act. Police are now compiling their criminal record.
The arrested have been identified as Anees Akhtar, 46, and his son Mohd Rehman, 21, both residents of Chakia Kasari-Masari. Both have been associated with Atiq and his family members for a long.
