Lucknow: Six criminal-politicians, including Atiq Ahmad who was shot dead on Saturday, were quietly released in 2008 on furlough from various jails within a span of just 48 hours, according to a book on "Baahubalis." The book claims that their release was tied to the UPA government's need for their votes to save the civil nuclear deal with the US, which was facing opposition at the time. The politicians' votes were believed to be crucial for the government's survival.
