The three faces of Uttar Pradesh mafia: Mukhtar Ansari, Ateeq Ahmed and Azam Khan

Firstpost  

Mukhtar Ansari has assiduously built a political constituency around the Varanasi-Mau-Ghazipur-Jaunpur region. Incarceration of three notorious names from the world of local crime — Mukhtar Ansari, Ateeq Ahmed and Azam Khan — was meant to show that no one is above the law or political patronage. Union home minister Amit Shah, during an election rally in UP, said, “Where are Ateeq Ahmed, Mukhtar Ansari, Azam Khan now? Mukhtar went after rival gang member Brijesh Singh ever since he became an MLA in 1996. He had surrendered along with his wife Tanzeen Fatma, the MLA from the Rampur assembly seat, and son Abdullah Azam Khan, who is contesting on a Samajwadi Party ticket from the Suar constituency.
