New Delhi, August 12, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
A dashcam video showing the moments leading up to the fatal road accident involving Aban Ahmed, the youngest son of late gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed, has surfaced, capturing the vehicle losing control before crashing on the Jhansi-Kanpur National Highway.
The footage shows 21-year-old Aban travelling with four others in a white Hyundai Creta when the SUV suddenly appears to veer off course, hit a concrete barrier and overturn.
The accident took place on August 6 and claimed the lives of Aban and his 25-year-old friend Sonu. Three other occupants — Azam, Mohammad Javed and Umar — sustained injuries and were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
According to reports, Aban was travelling to Jhansi to meet his elder brother Ali Ahmed, who is currently lodged in Jhansi jail.
Aban was laid to rest on Saturday at a graveyard in Kasari-Masari, Prayagraj, amid tight security arrangements. His elder brothers, Ali and Umar, were allowed to attend the funeral after the Allahabad High Court granted them conditional parole. Umar is lodged in a jail in Lucknow.
Aban was buried near the grave of his father, Atiq Ahmed. The cemetery also houses the graves of Atiq’s brother Ashraf Ahmed and his son Asad Ahmed.
Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf were shot dead in April 2023 by three assailants posing as journalists during a media interaction in Prayagraj. At the time, the two brothers were being escorted by police for a medical examination.
Atiq Ahmed had five sons. His eldest son Umar is lodged in Lucknow jail, while Ali is in Jhansi jail. His third son, Asad, was killed in a police encounter in Jhansi in April 2023. Another son, Ahzam, is currently out on bail.
Atiq Ahmed had a long criminal record and faced several cases, including murder, extortion and kidnapping. In March 2023, he was sentenced to life imprisonment in a kidnapping case.
