Varanasi: Mau Sadar MLA Abbas Ansari, son of late gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, has come under the scanner of the Mau police for allegedly violating bail conditions. The Supreme Court had granted him bail in a Gangsters Act case lodged in Chitrakoot, with the condition that he inform the police before visiting his constituency.
Police officials stated that Abbas did not inform them about his constituency visit. In addition, the Ghazipur police had served him a notice for staying at his ancestral home in Bada Darwaja, Yusufpur, for more than three days. He did not respond to the notice. Authorities are now preparing a report on the alleged bail violation to submit to the state government.
Mau officials explained that the Supreme Court bail order requires Abbas to inform the local administration and police before visiting his assembly constituency and restricts his stay at the Yusufpur residence to a maximum of three days.
Mau Superintendent of Police (SP) Kamlesh Bahadur stated that Abbas had visited the district multiple times since May 13 without informing the local police in advance, allegedly violating the conditions laid down by the Supreme Court. During these visits, he traveled to several places, met people, and also made public statements, the SP added.
Bahadur said a notice was being served to Abbas seeking an explanation as to why prior information regarding his visits was not given to the local police and administration. He further noted that if Abbas claims all restrictions imposed on him have been lifted, he would have to submit the relevant court order along with his reply.
Ghazipur SP Iraj Raja reported that despite serving a notice to Abbas on Sunday seeking an explanation for his stay of more than three days at Yusufpur, no reply has been received so far. A report on the violation of the bail conditions granted by the Supreme Court is being sent to the state government to initiate necessary action, said Raja.
The officials mentioned that the Supreme Court would be informed regarding the violation of bail conditions by Abbas.
Abbas came under police scrutiny when a team led by Circle Officer (CO) Mohamadabad Sudhakar Pandey reached his Yusufpur home in Ghazipur on Sunday night and served a notice demanding an explanation for his stay beyond the three-day limit prescribed in the bail conditions. Following this, police kept vigil at the residence, although Abbas had left it on Monday.
