Varanasi: Taking action under Gangster Act against jailed mafia don and MLA Mukhtar Ansari’s wife Afsha Ansari and her brothers Anwar Shehjad and Sharjil Raza, the Ghazipur police seized their Audi car worth Rs 31 lakhs on Wednesday.
SP Ghazipur OP Singh said, “After it came to light that land of individuals, government and gram sabha was grabbed by a company owned by Afsha Ansari and her brothers, cases were lodged against them. Apart from booking them under Gangster Act, their illegal possession from those plots had been removed.”
“On an order issued by district magistrate Ghazipur under Gangster Act, a team of Ghazipur police reached one of the houses of Mukhtar’s family in Ghazipur city with drums. After announcing confiscation of the car of the trio, the process of seizure of the Audi car of Rs 31 lakhs was completed,” he added.
