Umar Ansari shifted from Ghazipur to Kasganj jail
Umar Ansari, son of late mafia politician Mukhtar Ansari, was moved to Kasganj jail amid tight security, claiming he was falsely accused in a case.
Umar Ansari, the younger son of deceased mafioso-turned-politician, Mukhtar Ansari, was shifted to Kasganj district jail on Saturday amidst heavy security.
In a sudden move, Umar Ansari was shifted by road from Ghazipur district jail amidst tight security to Kasganj jail.
Officials remained tight-lipped about this and the police van carrying Umar Ansari entered the Kasganj jail premises in speed. When mediapersons attempted to talk to Umar Ansari, they could only get a short reply from him when he said that he was falsely trapped in a fake case.
Umar Ansari was earlier arrested from Lucknow in first week of this month on charges of producing documents in a matter related to confiscated property, allegedly having fake signatures of his mother Afshan Ansari, who is absconding and carrying a reward of ₹50,000. Bail of Umar Ansari was rejected by the court.
Abbas Ansari, the MLA from Mau assembly constituency, and Umar Anasari’s elder brother, had been behind bars for 2 years in Kasganj district jail and was released after getting bail on March 21 this year.
