Banda (Uttar Pradesh):A day after criminal turned politician Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead in Prayagraj, the family members of one of three shooters arrested in the case, Lovelesh, said that that he was spoiled due to wrong company.
Speaking to ETV Bharat, Lovelesh's mother Asha Tiwari said that Lovelesh was a religious person but was spoiled by bad company. She also said that Lovelesh had earlier gone to jail for slapping a girl under the influence of alcohol. " He has done this only after being misled by someone," said Asha.
" He had come home a week back. I spoke to him. After that, he left. His phone was also switched off," said Asha. She also said that they are finding it hard to believe that Lovelesh committed such murder adding that he used to speak to people very politely and also helped them often.
Asha said that they came to know about Lovelesh's involvement in the murder of Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf from TV. She also said that Lovelesh had very little contact with his family.
