Atiq Ahmeds lawyers barred from meeting him

| Wednesday | 16th January, 2019

Later on, we allowed them to meet Atiq when he was being shifted in prisoner's van to take him Lucknow in high security. BAREILLY: A battery of lawyers had arrived at district jail to meet their client mafia-turned politician Atiq Ahmad on Wednesday morning who is lodged at Bareilly district jail here. They wanted to meet Atiq at 7.30am which was not possible following the jail manual. It was very disappointing that the PAC had stopped us and despite several requests, the jail authorities didn't allow to meet our client. At that time I was not inside the jail but at my official residence.
