New Delhi, Aug. 7 -- Mohammad Umar, a friend of 20-year-old Aban Ahmad, who was killed in a road accident in Uttar Pradesh's Jhansi on Thursday after their SUV crashed into a road divider, alleged that the car was travelling at high speed and the driver lost control.

Aban was the youngest son of slain gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad. His 25-year-old friend Sonu, son of Raja, also died in the incident.

"The car was travelling at a high speed, and the driver lost control," said PTI quoted Umar, 24, as saying, who was lying on a stretcher.

Late Thursday night, the bodies of both the deceased were taken to Prayagraj by family members after a three-member panel of doctors completed the post-mortem examination at Jhansi Medical College...
