Atiq Ahmed s son Abaan to be buried near father’s grave
Bharatmorningnews.com – Atiq Ahmed s son Abaan, the youngest child of the slain gangster-politician, is likely to be buried at the Kasari Masari graveyard in Prayagraj after Friday prayers. Abaan Ahmed tragically lost his life in a road accident in Jhansi on Thursday morning, leaving his family and community in mourning. The burial site holds special significance as it is where his father Atiq Ahmed, brother Asad Ahmed, and uncle Khalid Azim alias Ashraf were laid to rest over three years ago in 2023.
According to DCP (City) Manish Shandilya, Prayagraj Police are actively coordinating with Jhansi Police to determine the exact timeline for bringing Abaan’s body to Prayagraj. The police have confirmed that the body has been kept at the mortuary of Jhansi Medical College and will be handed over to family members after the post-mortem examination is completed.
Police Arrangements and Security Measures
Police have significantly stepped up surveillance around the graveyard amid concerns that Abaan’s mother, Shaista Parveen, who remains absconding in connection with the Umesh Pal murder case, may attempt to visit the area during the funeral. “As Abaan was the youngest of the siblings, he was believed to be more close to his mother. We cannot rule out the possibility of her coming to the vicinity of the graveyard or nearby houses linked to the family. Police teams have been deployed to monitor any suspicious movement,” Shandilya explained.
“The grave digger was instructed to prepare a grave by Thursday, 8pm, though the work was likely to continue till late at night because of the hard soil conditions,” said Mohd Fuzail Ahmed, former secretary of the Kasari Masari graveyard committee.
Mohd Fuzail Ahmed, former secretary of the Kasari Masari graveyard committee, confirmed that preparations for the burial had already begun. He noted that the grave digger was instructed to prepare a grave by Thursday, 8pm, though the work was likely to continue till late at night because of the hard soil conditions. The body is expected to arrive either late Thursday night or early Friday morning, with the burial scheduled to take place after Friday prayers and close to the grave of Atiq Ahmed.
Family Connections and Historical Context
The Kasari Masari graveyard has become a significant resting place for the Ahmed family. Atiq Ahmed, one of Uttar Pradesh’s most prominent gangster-politicians, was killed in a police encounter in Prayagraj in 2021. His death marked a turning point for the family, and subsequent years saw the burial of other family members at the same location. The graveyard’s committee has been working diligently to ensure proper arrangements for each burial.
Shaista Parveen’s absconding status in connection with the Umesh Pal murder case has added another layer of complexity to the funeral arrangements. The Umesh Pal case, which involved the murder of a police officer in Lucknow, has remained in the news due to its high-profile nature and the ongoing investigation. Police sources indicate that they are keeping a close watch on all family members and associates during this period.
