MLA Mukhtar Ansari

An MP/MLA court in Ghazipur district of Uttar Pradesh today convicted and sentenced former MLA Mukhtar Ansari to 10-year imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 5 lakh in two separate cases under the Gangster Act.

The Ghazipur court convicted Ansari for his alleged involvement in the kidnapping of Vishwa Hindu Parishad office-bearer Nandkishore Rungta in 1996 and in the murder of Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Krishnanand Rai in 2005.

Earlier in December 2022, a local court in Ghazipur had convicted Ansari and his aide (Bhim Singh) in a 26-year-old case registered under the Gangster Act. This was the third case in which he has been convicted in 2023. He has been sentenced to 10 years in jail.
