Gangster who turned politician Mukhtar Ansari’s son Umar has threat to the life of his father at the Banda jail where he was brought by the police in April 2021 from Rupnagar jail in Punjab.
After meeting Mukhtar at Banda jail, Umar told that a conspiracy is being hatched to kill his father. According to Umar’s claim, the district administration and the local police are hand-in-glove with criminals lodged at the jail.
“They are hatching a conspiracy to kill my father. I will approach the court,” he said.
Ansari in September told a court that the Uttar Pradesh government may get him killed by ‘poisoning his food’ and hence demanded for high-class facilities in jail.
The MLA from Mau, was lodged in the Rupnagar jail in an extortion case in January 2019 and was brought to the Banda jail in April 2021 after the Supreme Court directed his transfer to the UP jail to face trials.
The UP government had moved the Supreme Court seeking his transfer to Banda jail. The Supreme Court in March ordered that Ansari should be transferred to UP to face trials in the pending cases against him.
According to the Uttar Pradesh police, Ansari was wanted in various criminal cases registered against him. At least 52 cases are registered against him.
