Gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari was laid to rest in Ghazipur, UP, today in the presence of several thousand mourners. A huge contingent of police and armed forces was present to ensure that the funeral took place peacefully. There have been demands from several political parties for a top-level inquiry into the circumstances in which he suffered cardiac arrest in Banda jail and later died. The death must be probed and the real reason for his death must be made public. This will be by the principles of natural justice and there are provisions in our law for this. Allegations have been made by Mukhtar's family members that he was served food laced with slow poison in jail. But it will be unjustified to politicize the issue. from IndiaTV India: Google News Feed https://ift.tt/CdT4Wnh
