Mukhtar Ansari Dodging Judicial System, Running Illegal Activities from Punjab Jail: UP Govt to SC

News 18  

The Uttar Pradesh government Wednesday told the Supreme Court that gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari has been dodging the judicial system and is running his alleged illegal activities from Rupnagar district jail in Punjab where he is lodged. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for Uttar Pradesh, told the bench that several cases are pending against Ansari in the state and in 2019, an FIR for alleged extortion was lodged in Punjab against him. Mehta said Ansari, who is lodged in Punjab jail, has not been produced before the court in Uttar Pradesh despite several orders. The Uttar Pradesh government had earlier told the apex court that the Punjab government is "shamelessly" protecting Ansari, who is lodged in Rupnagar district jail in connection with an alleged extortion case, by not sending him to Uttar Pradesh to face trial in several cases.
