Lucknow, India — In a tragic case of mistaken identity, the Uttar Pradesh police have disclosed that a taxi driver was wrongly killed on December 30, initially targeted due to an alleged murder plot by a local lawyer. The lawyer, identified as Aaftab Ahmed, is accused of hiring hitmen to kill a woman’s family, leading to this fatal error.
According to law enforcement officials, Ahmed originated the murder plan due to a clandestine relationship with a married woman. Intent on eliminating her husband and father, Ahmed reportedly paid the hitmen an advance of 2 lakh rupees. Unfortunately, the execution of this deadly plan went awry when the hired killers mistakenly assassinated the taxi driver in Lucknow’s Madehganj area.
The hired gang, including a member named Yasir and his associate Krishnakant, was tasked with carrying out the crime that resulted in the unintended victim’s death. The authorities confirmed the recovery of the weapon used in the killing, the motorcycle that was ridden, and the mobile phones of the accused, which further solidified their complicity in the crime.
Raveena Tyagi, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central Lucknow), elaborated that immediate friction ensued between the gang and Ahmed following the botched operation, as Ahmed withheld the promised remaining payment due to their failure to hit the intended targets.
In the aftermath of the incident, police have arrested three people, including Ahmed, and seized an illegal firearm, 14 live cartridges, the motorcycle allegedly used for the murder, and three mobile phones. Tyagi informed that all accused parties would face legal actions.
In a separate yet equally disturbing event in Lucknow, a man from Agra, after allegedly killing his mother and four sisters in a hotel room, has been placed in judicial custody since January 2. The police investigation suggests that the man’s father might have conspired with him in committing the murders, leading to ongoing efforts to locate and arrest him.
Deputy Commissioner Tyagi stated that active efforts involve four dedicated teams to apprehend Mohammad Badr, the father purportedly implicated in the crime by his son’s video confession.
These incidents have cast a dark shadow over the community, highlighting urgent issues related to crime and legal enforcement in the region. As the judicial proceedings unfold, the public and authorities alike await justice for the victims of these heinous acts.
