The Judicial Commission which is investigating the killing of gangster brothers Atiq Ahmed and Ashraf, recreated the scene of the shootout on Thursday.

Members of the JC were seen enacting the assassination of the brothers which took place in Uttar Pradesh on April 15 in the presence of police officers.

Atiq and Ashraf, the prime accused in the Umesh Pal kidnapping and murder cases, were gunned down by three assailants posing as journalists while the cops were escorting them to a medical college in Prayagraj for a checkup.

The mafia-politician and Ashraf were shot multiple times at point blank range, resulting in their instant death.
