New Dashcam Video Shows Final Moments Before Atiq Ahmed’s Son Aban Dies

The footage shows 21-year-old Aban travelling in a white Hyundai Creta with four other occupants on the Jhansi-Kanpur National Highway. The SUV suddenly loses control, veers sharply and crashes into a concrete barrier before flipping over.

Aban and his friend Sonu, 25, died in the crash. Three other occupants, identified as Azam, Mohammad Javed and Umar, were injured and taken to a hospital.

Aban was on his way to visit his brother, Ali Ahmed, in Jhansi Jail when the accident occurred.

He was laid to rest at a graveyard in their hometown in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj amid heavy security on Saturday. His elder brothers, Ali and Umar, who is in Lucknow jail, also attended the funeral after receiving conditional parole from the Allahabad High Court.

Aban was buried at Kasari-Masari near the grave of his father. The graves of Atiq’s brother, Ashraf, and another son, Asad, are also located at the same cemetery.

In April 2023, Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead at point-blank range by three men posing as journalists during a media interaction while police personnel were escorting them for a checkup to a medical college in Prayagraj.

Atiq Ahmed had five sons. The eldest, Umar, is in Lucknow jail, while Ali is in Jhansi jail. His third son, Asad, was killed in a police encounter in Jhansi in April 2023. His fourth son, Ahzam, is out on bail.

Atiq Ahmed had a long history of criminal cases, including murder, extortion and kidnapping, for which he received a life sentence in March 2023.

The newly surfaced dashcam footage provides a visual account of the crash that claimed the lives of Aban and his friend Sonu, while the circumstances of the accident remain central to the incident.
