Allahabad HC Grants Parole to Atiq Ahmed's Jailed Sons for Brother's Funeral
The Allahabad High Court granted parole to Atiq Ahmed's jailed sons, Mohammad Umar and Ali Ahmed, to attend their younger brother Aban Ahmed's funeral in Prayagraj under police custody. Aban, 21, died in a road accident in Jhansi along with his friend Sonu. The court imposed restrictions on the brothers, barring them from public gatherings, media interaction, and processions other than the funeral. After the rites and a family meeting, they will be escorted back to jail. The funeral saw a heavy police presence amid attempts to breach barricades.
