In a sudden move, Umar Ansari was shifted by road from Ghazipur district jail amidst tight security to Kasganj jail.
Officials remained tight-lipped about this and the police van carrying Umar Ansari entered the Kasganj jail premises in speed. When mediapersons attempted to talk to Umar Ansari, they could only get a short reply from him when he said that he was falsely trapped in a fake case.
Umar Ansari was earlier arrested from Lucknow in first week of this month on charges of producing documents in a matter related to confiscated property, allegedly having fake signatures of his mother Afshan Ansari, who is absconding and carrying a reward of ₹50,000. Bail of Umar Ansari was rejected by the court.
Abbas Ansari, the MLA from Mau assembly constituency, and Umar Anasari’s elder brother, had been behind bars for 2 years in Kasganj district jail and was released after getting bail on March 21 this year.
