Mukhtar Ansari Funeral: The final rites of the gangster-turned-politician, Mukhtar Ansari took place at the Kali Bagh graveyard in Ghazipur’s Mohammadabad on Saturday. Mukhtar was buried next to his mother as the funeral rituals were conducted amid a sea of the don-neta’s supporters. An argument broke out between the district magistrate and MP Afzal Ansari allegedly over who could enter the burial ground.
Earlier, Mukhtar’s funeral procession was taken out from his residence to the burial ground with a massive crowd and heavy security arrangements.
Mukhtar’s postmortem late on Friday confirmed that he died of cardiac arrest, PTI reported citing hospital sources. The autopsy was conducted by a panel of five doctors, it added. Following the examination, Mukhtar’s mortal remains were handed over to his younger son, Umar Ansari.
Meanwhile, a magisterial inquiry was ordered as opposition parties raised questions over the gangster-politician’s death amid allegations by his family that he was ‘slow poisoned’ in Banda jail.
Banda Chief Judicial Magistrate Bhagwan Das Gupta appointed Addition CJM Garima Singh as the investigating officer and asked her to submit the probe report within a month.
