The Uttar Pradesh government is still in no mood to relent on mafia don Mukhtar Ansari and his elder brother former MP Afzal Ansari. Even though Afzal Ansari was released from jail, but on Friday, the administration attached the petrol pump of Indian Oil, issued in the name of his wife, under the Gangster Act. This petrol pump is in Gauspur village of Mohammadabad tehsil. It is alleged that this property has been acquired illegally by Mukhtar Ansari.
IS 191 gang leader Mukhtar Ansari is on the hit list of the state government these days. In such a situation, while taking action under the Gangster Act, the police and the administration are confiscating the properties acquired by them illegally. It is being told that Mukhtar has also got many properties named after his near and dear ones. In this sequence, on Friday morning, the Kotwali police of Ghazipur had taken action to attach the petrol pump of Essar Company located in Bahariabad.
This pump was being operated by Zakir Hussain alias Vicky, close to Mukhtar Ansari. A few hours after this action, the Ghazipur police took another action at the Kisan Petrol Pump located in Gauspur village. This action has also been taken under the Gangster Act only. It is being told that this petrol pump is a part of Mukhtar Ansari’s illegal properties and it was named after Farhat Ansari, wife of his elder brother and former MP Afzal Ansari.
For this action, the Ghazipur administration and the police team reached the pump with music and after getting the munadi sealed the pump. Superintendent of Police Omveer Singh said that this action has been taken under the orders of the District Magistrate in the case of Gangster Act. He told that the value of the attached property is around Rs 1.5 crore.
