In Lucknow, a special CBI court convicted seven individuals in the 2005 murder case of former BSP MLA Raju Pal. Gangster-turned-politician Atiq Ahmad was also implicated. Legal proceedings against Ahmad, his brother Khalid Azim alias Ashraf, and Gulbul alias Rafiq were terminated due to their demise. Pal, a BSP leader from Prayagraj, was assassinated on January 25, 2005, amid political discord with Ashraf, whom he defeated in the 2004 Prayagraj West poll.
