Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath  in his first reaction after the killing of Atiq Ahmed and brother Ashraf has  said : “Now mafia cannot threaten anyone in Uttar Pradesh.”

Yogi Adityanath said, “Before 2017, law and order in Uttar Pradesh was bad and the state was infamous for riots. Earlier there was a crisis for the identity of the state, today the state is becoming a crisis for them (criminals and mafias).”

Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three men posing as journalists in the middle of a media interaction on Saturday night while police personnel were escorting them to a medical college in Prayagraj for a checkup.

The Killing had invited opposition wrath with them lashing out at the law and order situation in the state.  Meanwhile the  Supreme Court will hear plea for independent probe on the killing of Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf on April 24 .
