Mukhtar Ansari's younger son arrested over forged papers from Lucknow
The New Indian Express Kannur
|August 05, 2025
IN a late-Sunday night operation, UP police arrested Umar Ansari, the younger son of late gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, from the Darulshafa MLA residential complex in the city.
The arrest was made by Ghazipur police, which conducted a raid at the residence of former Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) MLA Abbas Ansari after tracking Umar's location there.
The police action against Umar Ansari came over charges of forgery and filing a fraudulent petition in court seeking release of a property registered in the name of his mother, Afshan Ansari, who is wanted in a number of cases and has been evading arrest. Afshan Ansari carries a reward of ₹1 lakh on her arrest from Ghazipur and Mau police.
