The Story in Brief
Mohammad Umar, a friend of Aban Ahmad, has alleged that the SUV was travelling at high speed and the driver lost control before crashing into a divider in Jhansi on Thursday, killing Aban and his friend Sonu. Police have said preliminary investigation supports the high-speed claim. Aban was the youngest son of slain gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad.
Three others were injured and later moved to Prayagraj. Umar was among the injured. Police are reviewing CCTV footage and checking if an animal caused the driver to lose control. The Allahabad High Court granted parole to Aban's brothers Ali and Umar to attend the burial.
The Indian Opinion
Given the family's violent history, some may see foul play in this crash. But the facts so far point to a simple accident. The crucial test will be the CCTV footage. If it shows an animal on the road, the high-speed claim stands. If not, questions will remain.
