BY A STAFF REPORTER: Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead by the assailants while they were in police custody in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. Reacting to the incident, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee raised the question about the law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh. In a tweet on Sunday, Mamata Banerjee said, 'I am shocked by the brazen anarchy and total collapse of law & order in Uttar Pradesh. It is shameful that perpetrators are now taking the law into their own hands, unfazed by the police and media presence. Such unlawful acts have no place in our constitutional democracy.'

I am shocked by the brazen anarchy and total collapse of law & order in Uttar Pradesh.

It is shameful that perpetrators are now taking the law in their own hands, unfazed by the police and media presence.

Such unlawful acts have no place in our constitutional democracy.
