The custody of two minor sons of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed was handed over to their aunt on Monday following a directive from Prayagraj’s Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

Ahmed’s two sons have been at the Children Protection Home in Prayagraj since March 2 following the murder of Umesh Pal in which his father and elder brothers were accused.

While father Atiq Ahmed was shot dead under police escort on April 15 while on the way to a hospital for a medical test, mother Shaista Parveen, an accused in the Umesh Pal murder, is on the run.

District Probation Officer (Prayagraj) Sarvajeet Singh said that on the CWC’s direction, the custody of Ahmed’s minor sons has been given to their aunt (Ahmed’s sister) Parveen Ahmed.

Following the murder of Umesh Pal, Shaista Parveen had filed an application in a Prayagraj court alleging that police had “illegally” detained her two minor sons on February 24 evening.

Prayagraj police told the court that the two minors were sent to a child protection home on March 2 after they found them in the Chakia Kasari Masari area.
