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 politicians' votes were believed to be crucial for the government's survival.
