Atiq Ahmed’s Youngest Son Abaan Ahmed Killed in Jhansi Road Accident While Travelling to Meet Jailed Brother

Abaan Ahmed (21), the youngest son of late gangster Atiq Ahmed, was killed in a devastating road accident on the Jhansi-Kanpur National Highway on Thursday morning. The accident occurred in the Poonch police station area at around 10.30am, while Abaan was travelling with his associates to Jhansi jail to meet his elder brother, Ali Ahmed, who is currently incarcerated there.

Five people were travelling in the car at the time of the accident. According to initial reports, the driver attempted to swerve after an animal suddenly appeared on the highway. The high-speed Hyundai Creta went out of control and collided with the road divider. The impact was so severe that the car was badly damaged, killing Abaan and one other occupant.

Two Dead, Three Critically Injured

Police said local residents alerted them following the crash, after which a team reached the scene and pulled all five occupants from the wreckage before rushing them to hospital. Doctors declared Abaan Ahmed and his friend Sonu dead on arrival. Three others — Umar Ahmed, Mohammad Zaid and Aslam — sustained serious injuries and are currently undergoing treatment at the medical college. Police have sent the bodies of the deceased for post-mortem examination.

Accident Occurred While Swerving to Avoid an Animal

Preliminary investigations revealed that the Creta was travelling from Kanpur towards Jhansi when an animal suddenly appeared in front of the vehicle. The driver attempted to swerve to avoid it, but lost control of the car due to its high speed, causing it to crash into the divider. The severity of the collision can be gauged from the fact that the front of the car was completely destroyed.
