A former politician in India was killed on live broadcast at the same time as their brother was also making statements

Atiq Ahmed, who was under police escort, was speaking to reporters when a gun suddenly appeared and pointed at his head, shooting him almost point-blank in the head. Specifically, the video shows Ahmed and his brother, Ashraf, both handcuffed, talking to reporters on their way to a medical check-up at a hospital seconds before they both dropped dead.

Three men posing as journalists then surrendered and were taken into custody.

A few days earlier, his teenage son Ahmed was shot dead by police.

Atiq Ahmed had dozens of cases, including kidnapping, murder and extortion, on his criminal record. Just last March a court had sentenced him, along with two other men, to life imprisonment for kidnapping.
