2009 Attempt To Murder Case: Mukhtar Ansari Acquitted By Ghazipur Court

A Ghazipur MP/MLA Court today acquitted Gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari accused in the conspiracy of a murder attempt in the Uttar Pradesh’s Mohammadabad area in the district.

Meer Hasan filed a case of attempt to murder in 2009 against Ansari under 120B.
A case under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code was registered against Ansari at Ghazipur’s Mohammadabad police station.

Earlier on May 8, Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) and former Ghazipur MP Afzal Ansari appealed to the Allahabad High Court against the sentence given by the special court of Ghazipur in a 16-year-old gangster act case.

Ansari also gave notice to the UP government to appeal against this sentence, and the appeal can be filed soon.

Therefore the Court convicted the BSP leader in a kidnapping and murder case pertaining to the killing of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Krishnanand Rai and sentenced him to 4 years imprisonment.

Also, a fine of Rs 1 lakh was imposed on Afzal. Pertaining to this, the gangster-turned-politician also lost his Lok Sabha membership.
