In Uttar Pradesh's capital, three principal suspects—Aman Qureshi, Sohel Ahmed Siddiqui, and Farhan Ahmed Siddiqui—were sent to jail on Friday for the conspiracy to murder Maulana Irfan Ahmed Rizvi of Nadwa College. Remarkably, they were granted bail by the ACJM‑3 court on Saturday and were out of prison by Sunday.

The swift turn of events became public when a video surfaced on social platforms showing the accused walking out of the jail gate. The footage left Hazratganj police officials baffled, prompting an immediate review of the case.

Police had initially seized a stolen motorcycle and a pistol from the accused. Two shooters, Mohammad Shahid and Mohammad Jameel, who had been on the run for a month, were also arrested during the same operation. Investigation revealed that the Maulana’s close associate, Bilal Hashmi, colluded with lawyers to seize two madrasas and property worth crores after the murder.

Evidence includes 157 recorded phone calls between the shooters and conspirators, as well as photographs of the Maulana recovered from mobile devices. Additionally, authorities detained a middleman who supplied two lakh rupees of betel leaf and the lawyers involved in the plot.
