Gangster Mukhtar Ansari's Son Arrested For Trying To Get His Property Using Fake Papers

Umar Ansari, son of the late gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly submitting forged documents in court in an attempt to recover his father's seized properties.

According to a statement from the Superintendent of Police, Ghazipur, the properties had been confiscated under the Uttar Pradesh Gangsters Act. A petition was filed in court seeking the release of these assets, which belonged to Mukhtar Ansari, who died in March this year due to cardiac arrest at a Banda hospital.
