In the midst of New Delhi’s urban landscape, Asaduddin Owaisi, the leader of All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), made a solemn journey to the abode of Mukhtar Ansari, once known as a figure of both underworld notoriety and political influence, situated in the precincts of Ghazipur. Ansari’s demise, attributed to a sudden cardiac event, served as the catalyst for Owaisi’s visit, prompting him to convey his condolences via the virtual realms of X. His virtual epitaph encapsulated sentiments of profound sorrow, alongside a commitment to solidarity with the grieving kin and cohorts of the departed.
In his digital lamentation, Owaisi articulated, “This day bore witness to our pilgrimage to the domicile of the departed Mukhtar Ansari, whereupon we paid homage to his bereaved household. In these hours of tribulation, our resolve remains steadfast in standing alongside his kin, adherents, and well-wishers.” The invocation of divine assurance permeated his discourse as he intimated, “Verily, divine illumination shall pierce through the shroud of this somber hour. For every ‘Pharaoh’ begets the advent of a ‘Moses’.”
The mortal remains of Mukhtar Ansari found their final resting place within the precincts of the Kali Bagh sepulcher in Ghazipur, an interment shrouded in heavy security arrangements to preempt any untoward incident. The path traversed by his funeral cortege, from his familial abode to the hallowed grounds of sepulture, stood fortified by the presence of vigilant law enforcement personnel.
In the wake of the postmortem scrutiny, the official narrative pronounced Ansari’s demise as a consequence of cardiovascular affliction, notwithstanding his family’s contention of foul play, attributing his demise to the malevolence of poisoned sustenance. The clinical record documented his admission to the Banda hospital on the twilight hours of Thursday, where a cohort of nine medical practitioners endeavored in vain to resuscitate him.
Simultaneously, a tripartite consortium has been convened to orchestrate a judicial inquest into the circumstances surrounding Ansari’s passing, a mandate emanating from the hallowed echelons of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Banda’s office. This investigative overture seeks to plumb the depths of the saga, unraveling the intricacies enshrouding the demise of a figure cast in the duality of infamy and political repute.
The annals of legal history bear testimony to Mukhtar Ansari’s protracted legal entanglements, culminating in his judicial remand on charges ranging from the assassination of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai to the procurement of spurious documentation for the acquisition of arms licensing privileges, a saga that culminated in a life sentence meted out on March 13, 2024.
