In a high-profile legal battle drawing attention across Uttar Pradesh, Umar Ansari, the younger son of jailed mafia-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, has moved the Allahabad High Court seeking bail.
Umar has requested the court to grant him bail during the pendency of a criminal trial related to allegations of forging legal documents to reclaim property seized under the Gangster Act.
The Allegations
The case stems from a criminal complaint filed at Mohammadabad Police Station in Ghazipur district, where Umar is accused of using fake documents and forging his mother Afsa (Afsha) Ansari’s signature in a bid to secure the release of a property previously confiscated under the Gangster Act.
Investigators allege that Umar’s actions were part of a larger attempt to bypass court orders and reclaim the seized asset unlawfully.
The Arrest and Lower Court Rejection
In a significant development, Umar Ansari was arrested in Lucknow in connection with this case and subsequently sent to jail.
His first bail application was rejected by the lower court, intensifying the legal battle surrounding the controversial Ansari family, which has long been under scrutiny for its alleged involvement in organized crime.
Bail Plea Before the High Court
Following the rejection, Umar has now approached the Allahabad High Court, pleading for relief and seeking bail while the trial continues.
His legal team is expected to argue that the charges are politically motivated and that Umar deserves bail until a verdict is reached.
The court’s decision will be closely watched, given the high-profile nature of the Ansari family’s criminal history and their ongoing legal troubles.
The case not only highlights the continuing crackdown on alleged mafia networks in Uttar Pradesh but also underlines how the judiciary is increasingly scrutinizing attempts to manipulate court orders through forged documents.
