Previous cases & verdicts of Mukhtar Ansari

The UP Police lodged a murder case against the gangster-turned-politician, Mukhtar in the link to the 2001 ‘Usri Chatti’ gang war incident earlier this year. After that incident, a case under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) was registered against the mafia at PS Mohammadabad in Ghazipur.

On January 18, Allahabad high court dismissed the March 15 order of the Ghazipur MP-MLA Court, which allowed the mafia to be kept in a superior-class jail in Banda.

In December last year, Mukhtar with his associate Bhim Singh was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment by the Gangster Court in Ghazipur in five cases related to murder and attempt to murder.

These heinous murders include the killing of Constable Raghuvansh Singh and a murderous assault on an additional SP of Ghazipur among others.

On September 21, the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court convicted Ansari and sentenced him for threatening jailer SK Awasthi and pointing a pistol at him. The case dates to 2003 when Lucknow district prison jailer SK Awasthi lodged an FIR saying that he was threatened to order a search of the people who came to meet Mukhtar in jail.

After two days, the Lucknow bench sentenced him to five years in a case registered in 1999 under the Gangster Act. The court had also imposed a fine of Rs 50,000 on Mukhtar in this 23-year-old case.
