Mukhtar Ansari


 Mukhtar Ansari is dreaded gangster turned politician from eastern Uttar Pradesh (Poorvanchal). Well built, tall stature and thick moustache are his major features. He hails from a well educated and well to do Muslim family from Mau Nath Bhajan a city in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.

Sport was his first passion and he wanted to be a cricketer and play for the national team. He was a good fast bowler of his locality.  Somehow sports became a non starter for him and he got going ahead and ahead in his criminal career. Later on he became a politician as it happens with many criminals at their peak out phase. Afzal Ansari his brother and Abbas Ansari his son too are politicians like him in the region. He has been elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly from the Mau constituency five times, including twice as a Bahujan Samaj Party candidate.He is the relative of former Vice- President Mohamed Hamid Ansari.

Mukhtar Ansari is the grandson of Mukhtar Ahmed Ansari, an early president of the Indian National Congress.

In the early 1970s, the government commissioned several development projects in the backward Poorvanchal area. This resulted in the rise of organised gangs that competed with each other to grab the contracts for these projects. Mukhtar Ansari was originally an alleged member of the Makhanu Singh gang. In the 1980s, this gang clashed with another gang led by Sahib Singh, over a plot of land in Saidpur, resulting in a series of violent incidents. Brijesh Singh, an alleged member of Sahib Singh's gang, later formed his own gang and took over Ghazipur's contract work mafia in the 1990s. Ansari's gang competed with him for the control of the ₹ 100 crore contract business, which spanned to areas such as coal mining, railway construction, scrap disposal, public works, and liquor business. The gangs were also allegedly involved in running protection ("goonda tax") and extortion rackets, besides other criminal activities such as kidnapping. 

These days Mukhtar Ansari is arrested and is put behind the bars.

Mukhtar Ansari was accused of murdering him by his brother Ajay Rai and his daughter. The decision in the case arrived after 32 years long court battle. The Special Varansi Court also ordered Mukhtar Ansari to pay Rs. 100000/- failing which his sentence may be extended by 6 months.
