Mukhtar Ansari, a gangster-turned-politician and five-time MLA from Mau, died of a cardiac arrest on March 28. His funeral took place in Ghazipur on March 30 amid massive security arrangements, attended by thousands, including several opposition leaders. The Ghazipur SP warned Ansari's supporters who created a ruckus at the funeral. Amid allegations from his family of poisoning, an autopsy revealed a 'yellow area' in his heart, while applications sent by Ansari and his wife to the President of India in 2018 and 2019 disclosed he had suffered two heart attacks in jail and was a high blood pressure patient. Afzal Ansari alleged a conspiracy to murder his brother under government patronage, harming 'Raj Dharma'. AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi and SP's Dharmendra Yadav visited Ansari's residence to offer condolences. Owaisi stated, 'He died in judicial custody. The state government is responsible for it,' and expressed solidarity with Ansari's family. This visit sparked a response from BJP, questioning the 'appeasement' and led to a statement from SP that there is no competition in standing with Ansari's family, with a mention that Akhilesh Yadav should have visited first.
