Lucknow: After a 14-hour exercise, Bahubali MLA Mukhtar Ansari was finally put behind bars in Uttar Pradesh's Banda jail from Ropar jail in Punjab amid heavy security. Once again Banda jail has become the new hideout of Mukhtar Ansari. UP jail was once Mukhtar Ansari's house. From where this Baahubali MLA carried out all its exploits.
Even the prison dungeon did not hinder his mood. With the same Uttar Pradesh jail, today, Mukhtar Ansari and his family are afraid of death. In November 2005, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA Krishnanand Rai and six of his associates were shot dead, Mukhtar Ansari was then lodged in Fatehgarh jail in UP. Mukhtar Ansari was shifted from Ghazipur jail to Fatehgarh jail a month before the incident. Many experts also call it a part of Mukhtar Ansari's conspiracy.
Brijlal, who was IG law and order in the Uttar Pradesh police at that time, explains, "Ghazipur jail used to be Mukhtar Ansari's house. Where he dug a pond inside the prison to eat his favorite fish. In the evening, the court of Baahubali MLA was decorated inside the jail. The district's top officials used to come to the jail to play badminton with Mukhtar Ansari."
