UP Election 2022 | Watch: Mukhtar Ansari's son threatens officials, 'First hisaab kitaab, then transfer'

UP Police on Friday lodged an FIR against gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari’s son, Abbas Ansari, for threatening government officials at a public rally in Mau district.

Abbas Ansari, who is contesting from Mau Sadar seat as SP alliance candidate, said at an election rally on Thursday that no government officials will be transfered for six months after elections as there will be hisaab kitaab with them.

"I've told SP chief Akhilesh Yadav that no transfers or postings will happen for six months. First, 'hisab kitab' will happen with them. Only then their transfer certificates would be stamped,” he said.
