Law enforcement in Prayagraj has intensified actions against the gang associated with the deceased mafia Atiq Ahmed. Police initiated legal proceedings under the Gangster Act against Imran, the brother-in-law of Ahmed, identifying him as an alleged gang leader along with his mother and two sons.

Concurrently, authorities transferred Arman Bihari, a wanted shooter linked to the gang, from a jail in Bihar to Prayagraj. Bihari, who had a reward of 5 lakh rupees on his head, is a primary suspect in the February 2023 murder of lawyer Umesh Pal and two government guards. Following his transfer, a special court placed Bihari in 14-day judicial custody. Police are seeking further custody to interrogate him regarding the murder and his alleged accomplices.
