Uttar Pradesh Police are verifying a viral video that purports to show the moment Abaan Ahmed, the youngest son of slain gangster-politician Atiq Ahmed, died in a car crash last week. Two people died when the speeding car hit a divider after the driver, Zaid, told police he experienced a blackout. The video went viral days after the accident. Police have urged people not to share it until verified. Hindustan Times reports it has not independently verified the video. The second victim is named as Sonu by Hindustan Times and as Ahzam by Times Now. Three others were injured and are stable. The group was travelling to Jhansi jail to meet Abaan's brother Ali.
