The Uttar Pradesh Police has intensified searches across nine States to arrest Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) MLA Abbas Ansari, son of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, in a case related to the alleged procurement of multiple arms fraudulently on a single arms license. Eight police teams have been sent to nab the MLA.
Lucknow police said in a statement: “Abbas Ansari is wanted in a case under Arms Act. Raids across the country in search of Abbas are going on. Eight teams have been sent to U.P., New Delhi, Rajasthan, Hyderabad, West Bengal, Uttarakhand along with Punjab, Chhattisgarh & Goa.”
The MP/MLA court on July 14 issued a non-bailable warrant against the MLA after he failed to appear before the court in the case of possessing multiple weapons on the same license, and transferring the license to Delhi without a No Objection Certificate (NOC). Mr. Abbas Ansari’s plea for anticipatory bail has been rejected by the court.
