In the wake of the recent demise of Mukhtar Ansari, a notorious gangster-turned-politician who passed away due to a cardiac arrest, allegations of poisoning have emerged from his family. Ansari, who had been incarcerated in Uttar Pradesh and Punjab since 2005, was rushed to a hospital in Banda after falling unconscious in the district jail.
According to statements from Ansari’s family members, he had been given a poisonous substance in his food not once but twice, with the most recent incident occurring on March 19, leading to severe deterioration in his health. His brother, Afzal Ansari, and son, Umar, have both asserted that they will seek legal recourse, expressing their lack of trust in the safety conditions within the prison system.
The lawyer representing Mukhtar Ansari had previously raised concerns about threats to his life while in jail and suspected that he was being fed toxic substances along with his meals. These allegations have sparked calls from various political figures, including RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi, and Bahujan Samaj Party Chief Mayawati, for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ansari’s death and the alleged poisoning incidents.
Security measures have been heightened following Ansari’s demise, with authorities imposing strict orders to maintain law and order. Special deployments have been made in areas where Ansari wielded influence, amidst concerns about potential unrest.
Ansari’s death has brought to light not only the complexities of his criminal history, with over five dozen cases against him including multiple murder charges, but also the challenges and controversies surrounding his imprisonment. The ongoing debates and legal actions stemming from these allegations underscore the broader issues within the criminal justice system and raise questions about the safety and well-being of prisoners, especially high-profile individuals like Mukhtar Ansari.
