Punjab's home department has asked the Uttar Pradesh government to take custody of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari from Rupnagar jail by April 8.
Mukhtar Ansari, who is wanted in various cases in Uttar Pradesh, has been lodged in Rupnagar district jail in connection with an alleged extortion case since January 2019.
In a letter to the Uttar Pradesh Additional Chief Secretary (Home), the home department of Punjab asked for suitable arrangements to be made for the transfer of undertrial prisoner Ansari.
The Uttar Pradesh government has withdrawn a case of vandalism against former Deputy SP Shailendra Singh in Varanasi. Shailendra Singh is the cop who had invoked the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) on gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari in 2004.
