The murder of former MP and Uttar Pradesh's notorious mafia Atiq Ahmed has a connection with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and Rathi Bhati gang. Senior journalist and writer Manoj Ranjan Tripathi has told the entire story of 54 days, how the planning was done, how many attempts were made to kill and who was behind all this. He has made many revelations about the murder of Atiq and his brother Ashraf. He says that Lawrence's close aide Jitendra Gogi gave Jigana gun to three boys, they got training in Bundelkhand and the three killed him on the road in the same way as Umesh Pal was killed openly. Umesh Pal was a witness to the Raju Pal murder case of 2005. Raju Pal was killed by shooters. Atiq and Ashraf were also named in this case.
On April 15, 2023, Atiq and Ashraf were murdered in police custody by three boys. All three had come posing as media men. After firing the bullets, all three surrendered. Senior journalist Manoj Ranjan Tripathi has written a book on Atiq Ahmed - Kasari Masari. He told that an attempt was made to kill Atiq first in the court, then in the medical room. When Atiq was being brought from Sabarmati to Uttar Pradesh and the car entered Jhansi, even at that time the shooters were with him and they were together for how many days. He said that this book is not on Atiq Ahmed. This book is the story of 54 days from Atiq's coming to Prayagraj from Sabarmati to the murder. When Atiq was brought from Sabarmati, the media was following the car, everyone felt that his car might overturn, so everyone was following to capture it and these three boys were also together at every step.
Manoj Ranjan Tripathi said that it was decided after the murder of Umesh Pal that Atiq would be killed. He said that it was decided that if Atiq openly kills Umesh, the witness of Raju Pal's murder, on the streets of Allahabad, even though he is currently a member of the BJP, he will kill a common man by creating a filmy scene like this, then Atiq will also meet the same fate. That planning was done, he comes to UP via Rohini Court, gets training in Bundelkhand, three people come in the guise of media and shoot him.
Atiq was killed like Afghanistan's Ahmed Shah
Manoj Ranjan Tripathi said, I have spent 30 years in journalism, but never saw a live murder. When Atiq was killed, I got an idea from there, I connected a dot. Similarly, a murder had happened in Afghanistan, whose name was Ahmed Shah. He was called the Line of Panjshir because the Taliban was not able to capture Panjshir. Then an English channel managed to interview Ahmed Shah. He had a cameraman with him, a crew, a reporter and all three were sitting and interviewing him. All three sat and pressed their respective buttons and Ahmed Shah was killed. They were all people of the suicide bomber squad, who were planned by the Taliban. Atiq Ahmed was murdered in the same way, three people were prepared and all three go there posing as media men and kill him. These two incidents got connected in my mind.
Training was done in Bundelkhand.
He told that when these three boys who killed Atiq were given training, then that video of Ahmed Shah's killing was shown to them. Complete training was given. Manoj Ranjan Tripathi said that if you see the three boys shooting, then notice, when they are firing the pistol, they are stepping like in badminton. That stepping has been taught to them. The reason is that the target may catch them. Who was the target, Atiq Ahmed. He was trained in Bundelkhand.
Lawrence Bishnoi gang provided weapons:
Manoj Ranjan Tripathi said that he went to Punjab for research of the book because weapons are supplied from there. He said that weapons were supplied through Punjab's Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which were supplied by Irfan Khurjewala. The boys who did not have Rs 9 in their pockets had pistols worth Rs 9.5 lakh in their hands, which is called- Zigana. He said that Zigana is made in Turkey, from there it comes to Azerbaijan, then to Iran and from there to Pakistan. From Pakistan, it is dropped in Punjab through drone doping and then delivered to these boys.
Rathi Bhati gang had sent these three boys to Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
Manoj Ranjan Tripathi said, 'These boys were given the contract by Jitendra Gogi, who is a very close man of Lawrence Bishnoi. He was in Tihar. Before Lawrence Bishnoi, Jitendra Gogi had a close friend named Prince Tewatia, who was killed in Tihar. Jitendra Gogi had called many shooters so that Tillu Tejpuria could be killed. Tillu Tejpuria had got Prince Tewatia killed. Meanwhile, these boys reached there, they were given two photographs with the instructions that they have to kill these two people. These photographs were of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf.'
He told that Rathi and Bhati gang had sent these boys to Jitendra Gogi. One of the three boys who killed Atiq was in jail and used to massage the feet of Rathi and Bhati. He said that the boy had the potential to become a big criminal, his father tried a lot to educate him but nothing happened. From there he joined this planning and added two more people with him.
