  • 5 years ago
Controversial UP legislator Mukhtar Ansari was on Saturday released on custody parole from Central Jail here for a day to campaign in Lok Sabha election.

Escorted by a large posse of security personnel, Mr. Ansari, whose Quami Ekta Dal is supporting Congress in Varanasi and who is contesting from Ghosi constituency, was released after his wife Afshan furnished a bond of Rs 1.27 lakh.

Mr. Ansari, who lost to BJP leader Murli Manohar Joshi by just 17,000 votes in Varanasi in 2009, was taken in an ambulance to his constituency of Ghosi accompanied by his wife and other members of the family.

Mr. Ansari, facing trial in a case under stringent Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act for allegedly being a member of an organised crime syndicate, was granted custody parole on May 1 for 10 days by a Delhi court for campaigning in Lok Sabha polls.
