Amid the ongoing drama of mafia-politician Atiq Ahmed's arrest and hearing at the UP court, a man was seen waiting outside the Prayagraj MP-MLA Court with a garland of footwear for Atiq on Tuesday.
The man, identified as Varun who appears to be a lawyer stood outside the Prayagraj Court, carrying a garland of footwear. He said, "If I make Atiq Ahmed wear a garland of footwear, the Pal community and the entire lawyer community will be happy. He killed a member of the lawyer community, they will be happy that he has come to hear his sentencing by wearing a garland of shoes. These are the footwear of members of family of Umesh Pal & Raju Pal."
