Prayagraj, Mar 28 (UNI) Mafia-turned-politician and former MP Atique Ahmed, who along with two others, was convicted to life imprisonment in a kidnapping case, has been sent back to Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad in Gujarat amid tight security arrangement on Tuesday, a jail official said here.
Senior Jail Superintendent of Naini Jail Shashi Kant Singh said that Atique has been sent back to Sabarmati jail after a summon was received in this regard. It may be noted that after being convicted by a Special MP-MLA court Atique was brought back to the Naini Jail in Prayagraj.
