Mafia Atiq Ahmed Convicted Within A Month Of CM Yogi’s Warning

Uttar Pradesh’s mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed was convicted for the first time in a criminal career spanning 43 years. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment on March 28 by the Prayagraj Court. Within a month of the warning given by UP CM Yogi Adityanath, strict actions were taken against former Samajwadi Party MP Atiq Ahmed. While delivering speech at Assembly, CM Yogi on February 25 warned, “Mafiyaon ko mitti me mila denge”. He also alleged that the Samajwadi Party had been providing him protection despite being proven guilty.
