The Ropar police had booked the dreaded gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari in a five-year-old murder case of a labourer at Morinda, apparently to scuttle any move of the Uttar Pradesh Police to take him away to face criminal cases registered against him in their state.
Jan 22, 2019: The police had brought Mukhtar Ansari on a production warrant from a jail in Uttar Pradesh after lodging an FIR that he had sought a ransom of Rs 10 crore from a builder in Sector 70 in Mohali
June 27, 2019: Ansari was named in a case related to the murder of a labourer at Morinda
April 6, 2021: The UP Government got Ansari’s custody through the Supreme Court
CM Bhagwant Mann claimed today that the jail authorities denied custody of Ansari to the UP Police 25 times on medical grounds.
