Stf: Don Abu Salem’s henchmen on STF radar for helping Atiq Ahmed’s son Asad, Ghulam | India News – Times of India
LUCKNOW: Henchmen of don Abu Salem have come under STF scanner for allegedly sheltering and providing money to jailed gangster Atiq Ahmed‘s son Asad and Ghulam when they went into hiding after killing Umesh Pal on February 24.
The duo was killed in an encounter in Jhansi on Thursday and the STF is now preparing a list of all those who helped them in evading arrest. STF sources said on the top of the list are henchmen of Salem who had helped Atiq earlier.
An STF team will coordinate with the Maharashtra police to track such people.
A senior official, who has been working on the case since February 24, said a list of such people is being made. “STF had made first breakthrough when it had arrested Atiq’s brother-in-law Akhlaq and got the footage in which he is spotted making payments to the aides of the don.”
Some suspects have been zeroed in from Delhi and Mumbai. “We are also coordinating with the agencies in Rajasthan, West Bengal and with police of bordering districts,” said an officer.
