Prayagraj For gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad and his family, Jhansi seems to have become an unlucky city. First his eldest son Asad was killed in a police encounter here in 2023, and now his youngest son Aban has died in a road accident in the same city. Another Tragedy In Jhansi According to police, a speeding Creta car coming from Kanpur towards Jhansi lost control near Khilli village in Punch police station area and crashed into the divider on the Kanpur-Jhansi National Highway. The impact was so severe that the car was destroyed. Two people died on the spot, including Aban, Atiq Ahmad’s youngest son. Other injured passengers are being identified. Local residents alerted police, who launched a rescue operation. This comes just months after Atiq’s second son Ali Ahmad was shifted to Jhansi Jail in October 2025 from Naini Central Jail in Prayagraj. Ali faces charges in the Umesh Pal murder case and extortion cases. His family has repeatedly written to authorities alleging threats to his life in Jhansi jail.
