Abaan Ahmed, the son of politician and gangster-turned-lawmaker Atiq Ahmed, dies in an SUV crash in Jhansi. Reports say the vehicle, carrying five occupants, veers off course and collides with a central road divider, causing severe damage. Abaan Ahmed and his friend Sonu are pronounced dead at the scene, while three other passengers are injured and are receiving medical treatment.
Multiple accounts circulate about what happened before the impact. An eyewitness account describes the moments leading up to the crash, while other survivors offer different details, including speculation about factors such as what the driver swerved to avoid and conditions on the road, which is described as wet. Police investigate the circumstances and examine these differing statements.
Abaan’s burial is planned for Friday in Prayagraj, according to reports. The incident follows other recent violence involving members of Atiq Ahmed’s family, including the reported killing of his brother Asad in an encounter near Jhansi last year.
