Former Indian politician and brother shot dead on live TV in gang-related incident.

Former Indian politician Atiq Ahmed, who was convicted of kidnapping, was shot dead along with his brother while under police escort and speaking to reporters in Prayagraj. Three men posing as journalists quickly surrendered and were taken into custody. Ahmed's teenage son was shot dead by police days earlier. Dozens of cases, including kidnapping, murder and extortion, were registered against Ahmed over the past two decades. The incident has raised questions about how a man could be killed in front of the media and the police.
