The Prayagraj police have gunned down second accused in the Umesh Pal Murder case. The accused, who has been identified as Usman, was reportedly a part of the Atiq Ahmed gang and was the first one to open fire at Umesh Pal on Feb 24. He was declared brought dead at the hospital. The encounter comes a day after UP police announced bounty on the head of all accused in the case. BJP leaders have hailed the police action, echoing CM Yogi Adityanath’s pledge of ‘Mitti Mein Mila Denge’ (Will Destroy All Mafia). Umesh Pal was a key witness in the murder of Raju Pal, a BSP legislator murdered months after winning the Allahabad (West) Assembly seat by defeating former Samajwadi Party MP Atiq Ahmed’s younger brother Khalid Azim.
