Varanasi: Fearing threat to the life of jailed mafia don and MLA Mukhtar Ansari while shifting him from Ropar jail in Punjab to UP, his wife Afsha Ansari has shot another letter to the President of India requesting him to intervene and ensure adequate security for safety of her husband.
In the 14-page letter sent to the President on Wednesday, she claimed her husband can be killed in encounter by planting some false story in case, UP police officials are allowed to bring Mukhtar from Punjab without fixing their responsibility for his safety.
Referring to the recent killing of sharpshooter Girdhari in an encounter in Lucknow and killing of Prem Prakash alias Munna Bajrangi, a co-accused with Mukhtar in killing of BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai, in Baghpat jail few years ago, she demanded personnel of central paramilitary forces in the escort team.
