Noida (Uttar Pradesh): The medical condition of the widow of former National Investigation Agency (NIA) Deputy Superintendent Mohammad Tanzil Ahmed, remained critical on Tuesday, days after she and her husband were shot at by motorcycle-riding unknown assailants.

In a medical bulletin issued today, Fortis Hospital, Noida, Uttar Pradesh, said,

"Our doctors are closely monitoring the patient and are doing their best. The condition of the patient however continues to be critical."

Ahmed, 49, was shot dead past midnight Saturday by unidentified men at Sahaspur in Bijnor district of western Uttar Pradesh. Police said his body bore 22 bullet injuries.
