Prayagraj: In an unexpected turn of events, the forensic analysis report has determined that the blood traces discovered in gangster Atiq Ahmed's partially wrecked office in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj district were indeed human blood, according to police.
The Special Investigation Team received the report late on Wednesday night.
The blood stains and a blood-smeared knife were found inside the office in Chakia on Monday after which the forensic team was called in to take the samples.
Police sources said that investigations had revealed that the demolished and abandoned building was being frequented by some local drug addicts.
The police have detained some of the addicts for interrogation and some of them had injuries.
The development follows days after Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot dead by three men while they were being taken for medical examination in Prayagraj by a police team. The two brothers were in police custody and the entire shooting was captured live on camera.
