Allahabad High Court Denies Bail to Atiq Ahmed's Son in Extortion Case
The Allahabad High Court on Monday rejected the bail application of Mohammad Umar, eldest son of the late gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed, in an extortion case. The FIR, filed on April 26, 2023, at Khuldabad police station, alleges Umar and co-accused demanded money, threatened, and assaulted the complainant, a businessman who relocated to avoid threats. Justice Avnish Saxena found the bail plea lacked merit, citing prima facie evidence of abduction and extortion, and denied release.
