Woman linked to Mukhtar Ansari’s gang arrested in land-grabbing case

A 50-year-old woman named Nikhat Parveen, who is part of a criminal group linked to the late mafia don Mukhtar Ansari, was arrested by the police in Ghazipur.

She and her husband, Riyaz Ahmed Ansari, are accused of taking over land that belonged to a man named Suraj Sonkar.

The land was allegedly transferred to Riyaz's name using threats and intimidation.

Suraj's son, Subhash, found out about this after his father's death and confronted Nikhat and Riyaz.

The police have charged them with several offenses, including causing hurt, insulting to provoke breach of peace, and criminal intimidation.

Nikhat had been hiding for nine months before her arrest.

Mukhtar Ansari, a former politician with many criminal cases against him, died in March last year.
