The Prayagraj CJM court has sentenced all three of the suspects in the shooting deaths of Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf to a four-day police detention.

Three suspects in the murder of Atiq-Ahmed have been given four days in police custody by the Prayagraj court. The three shooters, Lavlesh Tiwari, 22, of Banda, and Arun Maurya, 18, of Kasganj, were brought to Prayagraj from the Pratapgarh jail this morning and shown before the court of chief judicial magistrate amid heavy police presence to request remand for questioning. 
Atiq Ahmed, a 60-year-old gangster-turned-politician, and his brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf were handcuffed when they were shot dead on Saturday night by assassins acting as journalists while being escorted by police to a Prayagraj medical college for a checkup.

The mafia brothers were assassinated only a few hours after Atiq's son Asad, who was fatally shot by police during a shootout, was laid to rest in his family's Kasari Masari cemetery in Prayagraj's Chakia neighbourhood. 

One of the shooters, Lavlesh Tiwari, was said to have been wounded by a bullet and sustained injuries as the attackers began firing at the mafia brothers. He was struck by another criminal and taken to Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in Prayagraj for medical attention.
