The Gauntlet of Legal Battles: Mukhtar Ansari’s Journey
Mukhtar Ansari had been embroiled in numerous legal battles, notably facing allegations of gangsterism in seven cases, with approximately 61 ongoing trials. However, three cases stood out as pivotal moments in his life, shaping his narrative profoundly.
1. The Usari Chattis Case: Unraveling a Political Vendetta
Located in the Mohammadabad constituency of Gazipur, Usari Chattis witnessed a tumultuous event in 2001 during the panchayat elections, where Mukhtar Ansari, then a legislator from Mau, was subjected to an attack. The assault resulted in the deaths of two individuals and injuries to seven, including Ansari. He was accused in this case, which is currently undergoing trial.
In September 2023, Mukhtar Ansari filed an application in the MP-MLA Court, seeking security, alleging governmental reluctance to ensure a fair trial in the Usari Chattis Case.
According to Ansari’s brother and MP Afzal Ansari, there had been long-standing conspiracies to eliminate Mukhtar, with the government allegedly protecting certain individuals involved.
2. The Mau Riot Case: A Journey from Incarceration to Stagnation
In 2005, Mukhtar Ansari was incarcerated due to his involvement in the Mau riots. Despite remaining alive, he found himself unable to secure release from prison since then. The Mau riots erupted between two communities in the city, leading to casualties on both sides. Ansari was implicated in this incident, leading to his arrest and subsequent imprisonment.
3. The Taraw Gaon Massacre Case: A Return to Uttar Pradesh’s Turmoil
From 2019 to 2021, Mukhtar Ansari was confined in Punjab’s jails. However, a case dating back to 2014 in Azamgarh, involving the murder of two laborers, compelled his return to Uttar Pradesh.
The Uttar Pradesh Police journeyed to Punjab in 2021 to apprehend Ansari in connection with the Taraw Gaon massacre. Despite initial refusals from Punjab authorities, a prolonged legal battle culminated in Ansari’s extradition to Uttar Pradesh.
