Atiq Ahmed’s Son Aban Dies in Jhansi Car Crash
The Story in Brief
Aban Ahmed, the youngest son of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed, died on Thursday after the SUV he was travelling in crashed into a road divider in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh. His friend Sonu also died. Three other occupants were injured and taken to a medical college. Police said the crash occurred around 10.30 am on the Kanpur-Jhansi road in Poonch. A preliminary inquiry indicated that the vehicle was travelling at high speed and became uncontrollable. LiveMint reported that Aban was travelling to meet his brother Ali, who is in Jhansi jail.
Aban was the twin brother of Ahjam. His brothers Umar and Ali are lodged in separate Uttar Pradesh jails. His brother Asad was killed in a police encounter near Jhansi in 2023. Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead in Prayagraj days later while being escorted for a medical examination.
The Indian Opinion
The police account points to a road accident, but the inquiry is still preliminary. Reports about the family’s earlier violent incidents may explain public interest, yet they should not overshadow the immediate facts or suggest a connection without evidence. Details such as the vehicle’s speed and the exact cause of the crash will need confirmation through a fuller investigation. Coverage should also respect the injured passengers and the bereaved families.
