'Bahubali' Mukhtar Ansari sentenced to 10 years of jail, convicted in kidnapping and murder case

Описание: Former MLA Mukhtar Ansari has been convicted in a kidnapping and murder case by a special CBI court in Punjab. Ansari, who was extradited from Uttar Pradesh to Punjab in April 2021, has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in the case.

The case pertains to the abduction and murder of businessman Ashok Kumar in 2001. Ansari, who was then an MLA from Uttar Pradesh, was accused of orchestrating the crime. The trial was conducted by a special CBI court in Mohali, Punjab.

Ansari, who is a known mafia don and has several criminal cases pending against him, was extradited to Punjab on the orders of the Supreme Court. He had been lodged in a jail in Uttar Pradesh for several years before being sent to Punjab.

The verdict comes as a major setback for Ansari, who has been fighting legal battles on multiple fronts. He is also facing trial in several other cases, including the murder of BJP leader Krishnanand Rai.

Ansari, who was a member of the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP), has been in the news for his alleged involvement in criminal activities for several years. The conviction in the kidnapping and murder case is likely to further dent his political career and reputation.
