PRAYAGRAJ: The Allahabad high court has cancelled the bail granted to one Farhan, an accused in the murder of BSP MLA Raju Pal in broad daylight in 2005.
The court observed, "Leaving the petitioner free is putting the life and safety of witnesses and common citizens at risk. He is also a member of the Atiq Ahmad gang, and it seems that in the Dhoomanganj area of Prayagraj district, writ of the state government does not run, rather writ of dreaded criminal Atiq Ahmad runs."
