College to Crude Bomb Maker: Who is Guddu Muslim, The Name Atiq, Ashraf Took Before Being Shot?

News 18  

Of the 13 attackers who allegedly killed Umesh Pal and his two guards on February 24 under Dhumanganj Police Station in Prayagraj, the one trending the most and on Uttar Pradesh Police’s radar is dreaded gangster Guddu Muslim — a thick moustached man sporting a white shirt, a pair of jeans and sports shoes seen allegedly taking out crude bombs from a black bag and hurling at the trio. It has also put many, who have seen his transformation from a college-going Guddu to ‘Guddu Bambaaz’ and ‘Guddu Muslim’, a moniker he earned owing to his expertise in crude bomb-making, into ‘flashback mode’ FLASHBACK MODE “It was indeed like going into flashback as the name Guddu Muslim surfaced in Umesh Pal’s killing. The entire background of Guddu alias Guddu Muslim – the name which he got during his college days in Allahabad University, popped up in front of me," said Brij Lal, a 1977 batch IPS officer, the former Director General of Police of UP, who started his career from Prayagraj, which then was known as Allahabad. He honed his skills which fetched him the title of ‘Guddu Bambaaz’ or ‘Guddu Muslim’," Brij Lal said.
