Mukhtar Ansari, who was incarcerated in Banda jail, passed away on March 28 after experiencing a heart attack. Despite efforts from a team of nine doctors at Rani Durgavati Medical College, Ansari could not be revived. His funeral took place in his native village of Ghazipur on March 29.

Following Ansari’s death, a magisterial investigation comprising three members was initiated to probe the circumstances surrounding his demise.

In April 2023, Ansari had been found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison for the murder of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai by an MP-MLA court. Additionally, he received a life sentence on March 13 of the current year for a case involving the use of forged documents to obtain an arms license in 1990.’
