UP MLA Mukhtar Ansari's Plea For Medical Examination Rejected By Punjab Court

Mukhtar Ansari, wanted in Uttar Pradesh for several cases, was on Wednesday produced before the Mohali court in connection with an alleged 2019 extortion matter.

A Mohali court has rejected a plea of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari who sought directions to jail authorities to constitute a medical board for examining him. The court of Judicial Magistrate 1st Class (JMIC) Amit Bakshi said the Supreme Court has already considered Ansari''s plea regarding his medical condition. "There is nothing on record which cab suggest that after the Supreme Court order on March 26 there have been any fresh medical issues with the accused," the Mohali court judge said. No separate order to constitute a board for treatment of the accused is required to be passed, the judge wrote in his March 31 order.
