Today, On 19th September, The Allahabad High Court granted bail to Mukhtar Ansari’s son, Umar Ansari, in a case alleging he submitted fake documents and forged his mother’s signature to reclaim land confiscated under the Gangster Act. He was earlier arrested in Lucknow.
The Allahabad High Court dismissed ex-MLA Abbas Ansari’s plea challenging a forensic report in a 2022 hate speech case, deeming it unnecessary since the trial had concluded. The court highlighted that the petition could not be entertained post-trial, marking a setback for Ansari amid ongoing legal issues.
Abbas Ansari, son of gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari, was disqualified as a UP MLA after being sentenced to two years in prison for hate speech during the 2022 election campaign. His controversial remarks led to multiple charges under the Indian Penal Code, resulting in the vacancy of the Mau assembly seat.
