Mukhtar Ansari's funeral: Ghazipur DM, MP Afzal Ansari argue over who can enter burial ground

Acrimonious scenes were witnessed during the funeral of Mukhtar Ansari over who can be allowed to enter the cemetery and offer the ceremonious soil.

An argument broke out between the district magistrate and MP Afzal Ansari here on Saturday during the last rites ceremony of gangster-politician Mukhtar Ansari -- also Afzal's brother -- allegedly over who can enter the burial ground.
Thousands of people from Ghazipur district and nearby areas turned up to attend the last rites of Mukhtar Ansari who died of cardiac arrest in Banda on Thursday.
According to local sources, the argument took place when the district administration, in an attempt to manage the crowd gathered, allegedly stopped some people from entering the cemetery to scatter ceremonial soil on the grave as part of the burial ritual.
A purported video of the incident surfaced on social media platforms, in which Afzal Ansari can be heard saying, "You cannot stop anyone from offering soil." To this, Ghazipur DM Aryaka Akhoury replies, "People of the family can offer soil. Will the entire town offer soil?" Afzal Ansari retorted that "anyone from anywhere who wants to offer soil will do so".
When the DM cited the prohibitory orders imposed in the district and asked if any permission has been sought for it, Ansari replied, "You cannot stop anyone from participating in a burial despite Section 144 (of CRPC)." The DM said the funeral was being videographed and legal action will be taken.
The local administration made elaborate security arrangements outside Ansari's residence and the burial ground.
Police faced a tough time managing the crowd who tried to force their way into the burial ground where entry was restricted. Varanasi Zone Additional Director General of Police (ADG) Piyush Mordia was present in Mohammadabad to supervise the arrangements.
When the funeral procession reached the cemetery, Afzal Ansari also appealed to the crowd to maintain peace.
According to the DIG of Varanasi Range, O P Singh, adequate police force was deployed everywhere. The Ansari family has been cooperating with the police. People started gathering in the area from Friday night and announcements were made to ensure that there was no overcrowding, he said.
Asked about some people in the crowd raising slogans, he said Mukhtar Ansari's family members had given a list of 40 to 50 people who were allowed to stay at the Kali Bagh cemetery at the time of burial.
The rest were stopped after the prayers. There is complete peace, Singh added.
Personnel of the police, Provincial Armed Constabulary and paramilitary forces were deployed at all important places. As the crowd swelled, more security personnel were deployed in the area later.&nbsp;

The family members have requested the authorities to shift Mukhtar to a better hospital in Lucknow if adequate arrangements are not made at Banda Medical College.

Family members have requested authorities to shift Mukhtar Ansari to a better hospital at own cost.

Jailed gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari has been admitted to a hospital in Uttar Pradesh's Banda district after his health deteriorated, his brother and Ghazipur MP Afzal Ansari said on Tuesday.
He claimed that the district, jail and hospital authorities were not giving the family details of Mukhtar's health condition.
"We have got a message from Mohammadabad police station informing us that Mukhtar is ill and is being admitted to Medical College, Banda. Family members have been asked to come for his help," Afzal Ansari told PTI.
"Not only this, Mukhtar's lawyer is also not being allowed to meet him. Now only when the family members reach there anything will be known about his condition," he said.
Afzal Ansari said he had called the Chief Minister's Office before leaving for Banda but could not contact Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, who is in Gorakhpur.
He said the purpose of calling the Chief Minister's Office was to request that Mukhtar be admitted to the Medanta Hospital in Lucknow or any other big hospital if adequate arrangements are not made at Banda Medical College.
"If the government does not bear the cost of treatment, the family will bear this expense," he said.
Afzal Ansari claimed that during the virtual hearing of a case in a Barabanki court on March 21, Mukhtar's lawyer had filed an application in the court alleging that his client had been given "slow poison" in jail due to which his condition was deteriorating.

"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.
As the video of Ansari's controversial remarks went viral on social media, police registered a case of violation of model code of conduct.
Mau Sadar seat will go to polls on March 7 in the last phase of UP elections. Mukhtar Ansari, who is lodged in jail currently, is not in the fray this time. His son Abbas is contesting from Ansari's traditional seat.
