They want to kill me: Atiq Ahmed fears for his life as he was taken from Sabarmati jail by UP cops

Описание: Soon after stepping out of the Sabarmati central jail before being taken to Prayagraj by the Uttar Pradesh police, gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed on Sunday alleged that the police personnel want to kill him under the pretext of court appearance in his home state. "Hatya, hatya (murder, murder)," Ahmed told reporters outside the jail. When some reporters asked him while he was being taken to a police van if he feared for his life, the former Samajwadi Party MP said, "Mujhe inka programme maloom hai...Hatya karna chahte hain (I know their programme...They want to murder me)." He also said that his appearance in a Prayagraj court was just a pretext for the police to kill him. "Court ke kandhe pe rakh ke maarna chahte hain (They want to kill me under the pretext of court appearance)," he said as he was taken towards the van. A team of the UP police reached the Sabarmati jail in Ahmedabad city on Sunday morning and left the premises with Ahmed in a police van amid tight security around 6 pm after completing the necessary formalities. The police convoy entered Rajasthan from Gujarat around 8.12 pm, an official said. Ahmed will be produced before a court in Prayagraj city in Uttar Pradesh on March 28 when it is scheduled to pass an order in a kidnapping case in which he is an accused, officials said.
