NDTV
Ahmed is to be produced before a Prayagraj court tomorrow for the ruling in a kidnapping case in which he is an accused.
As the convoy bringing gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed from Gujarat approaches Uttar Pradesh, officials at a Prayagraj prison are busy completing preparations to lodge the high-profile inmate.
A cell in special barracks, CCTV surveillance and tight security -- both inside and outside the prison -- are being put in place to keep an eye on Ahmed round the clock.
Ahmed is to be produced before a Prayagraj court tomorrow for the ruling in a kidnapping case in which he is an accused.
The former MP, an accused in more than 100 criminal cases, has alleged that Uttar Pradesh police planned to kill him in an encounter and that the court appearance was a false pretext.
