Mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead in Prayagraj. They were being taken to hospital for a medical examination when they were shot dead. Moments before their killing, Atiq and Ashraf were speaking to the media. These were Atiq's last words...Although a dreaded name, Atiq used to talk candidly to local journalists. In one such meeting with select scribes in 2004, when he was prodded on how he foresees his end, since he is a criminal, too, he had admitted candidly about his premonition.
