UP Municipal Body Polls Results: In a big development, the Samajwadi Party has won from the mafia Atiq Ahmed's ward in the urban local body polls in Prayagraj days after the city witnessed massive chaos due to the murder of gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf in police custody. Samajwadi Party's Jahanara won by around 2000 votes crushing BJP's Sarita Hela in ward 44.

Notably, Atiq Ahmed's house and in-laws both come into this ward.

It is pertinent to note that the wife of Umesh Pal, who was murdered in the city by members of Atiq Ahmed's gang, had asked people to 'strengthen the hands' of Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Aditgyanath.
