The Ahmed family, once a dominant force in Prayagraj's underworld and politics, has experienced a rapid disintegration over the past three years. The family's political influence, criminal network, wealth, and several key members were lost in this short period. This week, the family suffered another significant blow with the death of Atiq Ahmed's youngest son, Abaan Ahmed, in a road accident near Jhansi.
The family's decline began with the April 13, 2023, deaths of Atiq Ahmed and his younger brother Ashraf, who were killed by gunmen while being escorted by police for a medical examination in Prayagraj. Asad Ahmed, another son of Atiq, was killed in an STF encounter near Jhansi two days prior. Today, only one son, Ahzam, remains outside prison, and the family's once-vibrant political and criminal operations have been reduced to ruins.
