Mukhtar Ansari’s son and MLA from Mau, Abbas Ansari, raised concerns over the sudden shifting of the jailed don-politician from Banda jail to Lucknow for a court hearing late on Sunday night.

Mukhtar Ansari’s son tweeted, “Preparations are being made to take former MLA Mukhtar Ansari Sahab from Bahinnda Jail to Lucknow late at night,” adding that his medical got cancelled under a conspiracy and that the shifting hints to a major untoward incident.

After the tweet by the The  Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) MLA, senior administrative officials reached Banda jail along with ADM, SP, CMO and doctor. However, officials remained tight lipped over the speculation of Mukhtar Ansari’s shifting.

As per information, Mukhtar Ansari is scheduled to appear before Lucknow Court on Monday in the Enemy Property Fake Documents case. The convoy carrying Mukhtar Ansari left Banda jail on Monday morning with heavy security arrangements.

In another tweet, Abbas tweeted visuals of an unnumbered vehicle entering the jail premises and expressed concerns over Mukhtar Ansar’s safety. In April last year, Mukhtar Ansari was shifted from Ropar jail to Banda jail in Punjab.

If sources are to be believed, ADM Umakant Tripathi and SP Laxmi Niwas Mishra reached the jail late at night. The CMO also visited the jail.

Abbas Ansar had contested the Uttar Pradesh Assembly election this time from the Mau Sadar seat in place of his father on SBSP ticket and won.
