PNS n LUCKNOW

ightening the noose around Tmafia-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, the Lucknow police on Wednesday announced a cash reward of Rs 25,000 each on the arrest of his sons. The move came close on the heels of a case which was registered against them at Hazratganj police station on August 27. DCP (Central) Somen Verma said the cash reward was announced after a case was registered against Abbas Ansari and Umar Ansari on the com- plaint of lekhpal Surjan Lal fol- lowing the order of district administration. The cash reward was announced after a case was registered against Abbas Ansari and Umar Ansari on the complaint of lekhpal Surjan Lal following the order of district administration

He said that the district administration had demolished the illegal buildings construct- ed by Ansari’s sons. He said the police conducted a probe into the case and started legal pro- cedure, but Abbas and Umar absconded following which the reward was announced. He said Ansari and his sons were found guilty of fraud, tampering with government documents and preparing fake documents to stake claim on the land. The police have attached property worth Rs 66 lakh in stern action against Ansari and several persons have been arrested. Also, under Gangster Act, UP Police had initiated action against seven close aides of Ansari and cancelled the arm licenses of 75 persons. Besides, 12 close aides of Ansari have been externed by the police. Sources said the Lucknow police were mulling to initiate an action against Ansari and were in consultation with the Law department.    ! "#  $%&'('(
