Tensions flared in the Chakia area of Prayagraj, the stronghold of former MP Atiq Ahmed, as locals pelted stones at Uttar Pradesh Police. The incident prompted authorities to convert the area into a high-security fortified zone. After the gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Khalid Azeem alias Ashraf were shot head in Praygraj on Saturday, prohibitory orders under section 144 have been imposed in Uttar Pradesh.
As per orders of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, police conducted late-night flag marches in all the sensitive areas. Security has also been beefed up around the house of Umesh Pal.
