Hyderabad MP and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi raised questions over the encounter of gangster Atiq Ahmad’s son Asad and his aide Ghulam in Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi and said that the “so-called encounters should not take place”.<\/p>\n
Owaisi said:”There would be an inquiry as per the Supreme Court guidelines, but that “so-called encounters should not take place”,” Owaisi said .<\/p>\n
“Indeed, whether it is Umesh Pal or Raju Pal, we have sympathy for them. Because, those people were murdered. How can we support those who committed the murder?<\/p>\n

Amid attacks from the opposition over the encounter, the UP’s Special Task Force (STF) personnel condemned the killing of Umesh Pal, calling it an assault on the state’s criminal justice system.<\/p>\n
