SP MP surrenders in MLA murder case

Allahabad, February 5
Samajwadi Party MP Atiq Ahmed, whose brother was arrested in the BSP MLA Raju Pal's murder, today surrendered before a local court and was remanded to 14-day judicial custody.

He has been taken to Naini Jail near here where his brother Ashraf is already lodged on judicial remand in the same case.

The petition filed by Pal's wife had alleged that the investigation so far by the state police had not been fair and impartial.

The apex court issued notices in this regard to Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav and the CBI. Ahmed, who represents Phulpur constituency near here, in the Lok Sabha, surrendered before Chief Judicial Magistrate M.A. Abbasi and also moved a bail application, which was rejected. — PTI
