Probe ordered after 'Mukhtar Ansari was poisoned in jail'
To avoid a situation involving law and order, the Uttar Pradesh police has issued prohibitory orders throughout the state. There were more than sixty active criminal cases against Mau's five-term Member of Legislative, Mukhtar Ansari.
• A three-person team will carry out a magisterial inquiry into Mukhtar Ansari's death, according to ANI news agency.
• The former five-time Mau mla filed a case in Barabanki court last week, claiming that some sort of "poisonous substance" was provided to him with his lunch. Ansari stated that after eating the meal on march 19, he began to experience discomfort in his limbs and nerves.
