Aban Ahmad Dead: Who Is the Next Heir of Atiq Ahmad’s Leftover Terror Empire? Gangster turned politician Ateeq Ahmad's youngest son, Aban Ahmad, is also now dead. He was on his way from Prayagraj to Jhansi jail to meet his elder brother when the vehicle, reportedly speeding, went out of control. Days earlier, another son, Asad Ahmad, was killed in a police encounter over the Umesh Pal murder case. Of Atiq's five sons, only two now remain: Umar, jailed in Lucknow facing multiple criminal cases, and Ali, lodged in Jhansi jail.
