Guddu was one of the five key accused involved in the February 24 shootout incident in Prayagraj's Dhumanganj. He was also captured in the CCTV footage while hurling bombs.
Prayagraj court on Wednesday sent five persons, including gangster Atique Ahmed's driver, to 14 days of judicial custody in connection with the Umesh Pal murder case.
A man claiming to be a witness in the 2005 BSP MLA Raju Pal murder case has demanded security from the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government in view of the recent murder of Umesh Pal, a witness in the case.
It said that the wires of the Umesh Pal murder case are also connected in one way or the other with the former BSP MLA Raju Pal murder case in Prayagraj 18 years ago.
After the accused in the Umesh Pal murder case were killed in encounters, Samajwadi Party MP Ram Gopal Yadav on Tuesday expressed apprehension that the police would kill one of the sons of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed in a fake encounter in a few days.
The Uttar Pradesh Police on Tuesday arrested two people including a prison official arrested for allegedly facilitating meets between jailed former MLA Mohammad Ashraf alias Khalid Azim, the younger brother of Bahubali mafia don Atiq Ahmed, and his aides.
"I would like to congratulate the police team for this success. Those criminals murdered Umesh Pal and later two police personnel also. In today's encounter, the second murderer was killed," Keshav Prasad Maurya said.
"You have seen how dreaded these criminals are, that they are even attacking the police. In response, police had to open fire, in which another criminal was killed," Brajesh Pathak told ANI.
