A Delhi court today reprimanded Uttar Pradesh Jail authorities for failing to produce independent MLA Mukhtar Ansari before it and issued a fresh production warrant against him in a case registered under the stringent law against organised crime MCOCA.
Additional sessions judge Madhu Jain took a serious view of a UP police constable producing a report on behalf of the jail authorities stating that the accused could not be produced due to his gastro-enteritis problem.
The court warned the constable, who represented the Ghazipur jail, where Ansari is lodged at present, of strict action for submitting the report without being properly forwarded by the authorities concerned.
"If the accused is not produced on next date of hearing, none other than the Jail Superintendent and Jail doctor should appear before the court to intimate it," ASJ Jain said, issuing a fresh warrant against Ansari for November 23.
The court had on November nine issued a production warrant for today on an application submitted by the Delhi police alleging Ansari, who had unsuccessfully contested last Lok Sabha elections in Varanasi constituency against BJP leader MM Joshi, was running an organised crime syndicate with Munna Bajrangi in the national capital.
Ansari, a legislator from Mau in UP, is now in jail in connection with the murder BJP MLA Krishnanand Rai in 2005. Delhi police had invoked MCOCA (Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act) against Bajrangi and Ansari.
Bajrangi, whose real name is Prem Prakash Singh, was arrested from Mumbai by a joint team of the Delhi Police and Uttar Pradesh Police on October 29. The police invoked charges against Bajrangi, who hails from Jaunpur district in Uttar Pradesh, under MCOCA for allegedly running a crime syndicate and took him into their custodial from the court till December seven.
According to the police, Bajrangi is allegedly involved in more than 10 murder cases across the country, including that of Krishnanand Rai in 2005. Ansari is wanted in a MCOCA case for being associated with Bajrangi to run the organised crime syndicate.
