The Ghazipur MP/MLA court on Wednesday acquitted gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari in an attempt to murder case.
The Ghazipur MP/MLA court on Wednesday acquitted gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari in an attempt to murder case. However, acquittal, in this case, will not help Mukhtar in coming out of jail since several other cases are pending against him.
The case dates back to 2009 when one Meer Hasan had lodged a case of attempt to murder against Sonu Yadav and had named five-time MLA Mukhtar Ansari as a conspirator under Section 120B of the IPC. At that time, Ansari was already lodged in jail. The main accused Sonu Yadav has also been acquitted.
The final arguments in the case were submitted on May 6 and the court set May 17 as the date for the pronouncement of the judgement. Justice Durgesh of the MP-MLA court delivered the verdict today acquitting Mukhtar Ansari in the murder conspiracy case.
