Explainer: Mafia Mukhtar Ansari finally gets punishment, know what this murder mystery was
Mukhtar Ansari has been sentenced to life imprisonment in the sensational murder case of Awadhesh Rai in Varanasi 32 years ago. He has also been fined Rs 1 lakh. He has been fined Rs 20,000 separately. If he does not pay the fine, Mukhtar will have to serve another six months in prison. During the sentence, Banda was connected to the jail through video conferencing. He first declared himself innocent, then demanded a minimum sentence citing his age.
Mukhtar Ansari, a mafia figure who spread terrorism in Purvanchal for decades, has been given the biggest sentence ever. Despite having more than twenty-five cases, Mukhtar could not be convicted in a single case for years, but in the last one year he has been sentenced in four cases. In the 1991 Awadhesh Rai murder case, it has been decided that Bahubali will spend his entire life in prison.
32 years ago, on August 3, 1991, Ajay Rai, the younger brother of Awadhesh Rai, was murdered in the Lahurabir area of Varanasi. Awadhesh Rai was fired upon by miscreants riding in a Maruti van. As soon as he saw his brother being sprayed with bullets in front of him, Ajay Rai screamed. Before he could understand anything, the miscreants fled from there. Ajay Rai also followed the van. No one came out of the Chetganj police station near the scene. Ajay Rai and those around him took the dead Awadhesh Rai to a nearby private hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
After Mukhtar was convicted on Monday, his brother Ajay Rai said that….
Apart from Mukhtar, Ajay Rai had filed an FIR against former MLAs Abdul Kalam, Bhim Singh, Kamlesh Singh, Rakesh and other miscreants. The case against Mukhtar was going on in the MP-MLA court of Varanasi. Two accused in this case have died. While the case of two accused is in the Prayagraj district court. For 32 years, Ajay Rai and his family had to struggle to get Mukhtar punished for his actions in the Awadhesh Rai murder case. After Mukhtar was convicted on Monday, his brother Ajay Rai said that this is the result of 32 years of penance. He thanked the lawyers and supporters who were with him in difficult times. Ajay Rai had expressed full faith in the court. He said that for 32 years, Bhaiya’s daughter, parents and the entire family have been saddened by this incident. Today I am very satisfied that the right decision has been taken in this matter.
Testimony of 12 witnesses, strong lobbying of family
The testimony of 12 witnesses and strong lobbying of Ajay Rai’s family did a lot to convict Mukhtar Ansari in the Awadhesh Rai murder case. In this case, Mukhtar Ansari had disappeared from the state file, so a separate case was registered against him. Jay Rai said that Mukhtar Ansari’s gang had saved itself from punishment in many cases by threatening witnesses, buying them off, making files disappear and adopting many other tricks. It is definitely the result of 32 years of struggle and prayers of our people that Mukhtar has been punished for his act.
Who was Awadhesh Rai for whose murder Mukhtar Ansari will serve life imprisonment
The MP-MLA court of Varanasi has sentenced Mukhtar Ansari to life imprisonment in the murder case of 32-year-old Awadhesh Rai. Legal experts say that Mukhtar will have to die behind bars. This is the reason why people keep asking the question that what was the clear opinion that Mukhtar should be sentenced to life imprisonment? Let us tell you the complete story of Awadhesh Rai and his son.
The provincial president of the Congress was Awadhesh Rai, the elder brother of Ajay Rai. On 3 August 1991, Awadhesh Rai, along with his younger brother Ajay Rai, was killed by the Mukhtar Ansari gang while standing outside his house in Lahurabir. The miscreants in a Maruti van killed Awadhesh right in front of Ajay. The distance from the incident site to Chetganj police station was very short, but no one came out that day. It is said that Ajay also chased the van, but he did not find anything. The miscreants easily fled from the spot.
After the murder of Awadhesh Rai, Mukhtar Ansari became a big name in the crime sector of Purvanchal. Big warriors were scared of him. After this, all kinds of charges from contract to molestation were leveled against Mukhtar’s gang. Awadhesh’s younger brother Ajay Rai filed a murder case against Mukhtar Ansari, former MLA Abdul Kalam, Bhim Singh, Kamlesh Singh and Rakesh. Kamlesh and Abdul Kalam are believed to be dead. The case against the other two accused is going on in the district court. Ajay Rai and his family fought a long legal battle for 32 years. When the verdict came on Monday, Ajay Rai said that the elder brother’s daughter, parents and every member of the family were waiting. The parents were also shocked by the brother’s murder. This is the result of the firmness of our family, the hard work of the lawyers and the courage of the witnesses who do not waver in any situation. Be strong.
Why was Awadhesh Rai killed?
It is believed that the reason for Awadhesh Rai’s murder was the recovery of Chandsi coal market and his tyranny. Brijesh Singh and Awadhesh Rai were very close. Awadhesh Rai was hindered in recovering from Chandsi coal market. Mukhtar had complete control over this coal market. His gang used to take money from many shopkeepers and markets of Varanasi besides the mandi. Awadhesh Rai’s strength was an obstacle in this.
It is said that Nandkishore Rungta was kidnapped and killed in Koyala Mandi. Mukhtar Ansari’s gang was also accused. He was considered a strong personality among the people suppressed by Mukhtar. It is said that for this reason Mukhtar Ansari killed his associates on August 3, 1991.
The national file of the Awadhesh Rai murder case had disappeared. This is an example where the court heard a case without the original case diary and sentenced the accused. There was also a big issue of missing old files. A separate case was registered against him in this regard. It is said that the hearing of the Avadhesh Rai murder case also took a long time because there was no case diary. On May 19, after arguments, the Special MP/MLA Court of Varanasi concluded the hearing of the case and reserved the order till June 5.
