A case has been registered in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki after the documents of an ambulance with UP registration number, used to transport gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari to a Mohali court, were found to be fake, officials said on Friday. The BSP MLA from UP's Mau, who is wanted in Uttar Pradesh for various cases, was on March 31 produced before a Mohali court in connection with an alleged 2019 extortion matter. Amid tight security arrangements, Mukhtar Ansari was taken to court in a wheelchair. He was sent back to Punjab's Rupnagar jail in an ambulance after the appearance. "After an initial probe, the name and address given for the registration of the ambulance were found to be fake. An FIR in this regard has been registered by an additional road transport officer against Dr Alka Rai, whose name was given for the registration of the ambulance," a senior police official said.
