He emphasized the importance of preventing any trouble that could be faced by the general public. He also warned against violating the law, stating that no one should play with it.

“Strict action will be taken against those spreading rumours. The public should not pay attention to such rumours and should cooperate in maintaining peace and order,” a statement from the Chief Minister's office said.

After prohibitory orders under section 144 were enforced in UP, a high-level meeting was held at the chief minister's residence, attended by the Director General of Police (DGP) UP, Director General (Law and Order) Prashant Kumar, and other senior state officials.

Chief Minister Adityanath on Saturday also ordered a high-level probe into the sensational killings of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Khalid Azeem alias Ashraf in Prayagraj. 

Atiq Ahmed, Ashraf Ahmed Shot Dead In Pryagraj

Three assailants shot dead mafia-turned-politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf in Prayagraj on Saturday.

On April 15, the two brothers were shot while being escorted by about a dozen police officers for a routine medical checkup.

The former Samajwadi Party MP was killed hours after the last rites of his son Asad Ahmed, who was killed in a police encounter in Jhansi two days ago.

The shooting in Prayagraj was captured live on camera as media followed the handcuffed duo to the Calvin Hospital.

According to Police Commissioner Ramit Sharma, the assailants arrived on motorcycles dressed as media persons. They were able to approach the duo while pretending to record a news byte and fired at them from close range. 

The police detained three alleged assailants on the spot. As he was being apprehended by police, one of the alleged attackers shouted the slogan "Jai Shri Ram."
