Original Note:
Atiq Ahmed and brother were dreaded gangsters, who also entered politics. Atiq was recently sentenced to life imprisonment. https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/atiq-ahmed-gangster-politician-profile-political-career-crimes-shot-dead-asad-2360622-2023-04-16 This misleading BBC headline thus is in the same league as Washington Post calling Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi an "austere religious scholar" upon his death.
