Jailed gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari passed away on Thursday at the age of 60. Ansari had been admitted to a hospital in Banda district after experiencing a deterioration in his health, as confirmed by his lawyer.
According to reports, Ansari was initially admitted to Banda Medical College on Tuesday after complaining of abdominal pain. However, he was later discharged from the hospital. Allegations from Ansari's family members suggest that he may have been "poisoned" while in prison, a claim supported by Ansari himself prior to his hospitalization.
Ansari, a former five-time MLA from Mau, had faced convictions in eight cases over the past two years. He had been incarcerated in Banda jail at the time of his passing.
