Dead Body Of UP Gangster Mukhtar Ansari Brought To His Residence For Last Rites

Mukhtar Ansari Death: Earlier in the day, the body of Mukhtar Ansari was taken from Banda to Ghazipur after the completion of the post-mortem at Banda Medical College and Hospital.

The dead body of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, who died after suffering a cardiac arrest, was brought to his Ghazipur residence for last rites amid heavy police deployment by the district administration.

The last rites will be performed on Saturday, said Mukhtar Ansari's elder brother, Sibgatullah Ansari.

"We received the body after some delay so the last rites cannot be performed tonight. It will be done tomorrow morning. I request everybody to pray for him," Sibgatullah Ansari told ANI on Friday.
