The Uttar Pradesh government has beefed up the security of Kasganj jail, where Mukhtar Ansari’s son and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) MLA Abbas Ansari is currently lodged.
Body cameras and a drone have been provided in Kasganj Jail after Abbas Ansari claimed that there was a threat to his life inside the prison.
Abbas Ansari is lodged in Kasganj jail in a money laundering case.
His brother Umar Ansari had recently written a letter to Uttar Pradesh Home Secretary Sanjay Prasad claiming that Abbas Ansari’s life was in danger.
Director General (Prisons) Anand Kumar has sent body cameras and a drone to Kasganj Jail. Personnel posted around Abbas Ansari’s cell will wear body cameras.
Aerial surveillance will be done by drones to prevent any untoward incident.
The jail staff and police personnel posted near Ansari’s cell will be changed every month.
In his letter, Ansari’s brother has alleged that Kuntu Singh, who is lodged in Kasganj jail, is in danger for his brother’s life.
Kuntu Singh is said to be the mastermind of the famous Ajit Singh murder case in Lucknow. Apart from this, his name also figured in the murder of former BSP MLA Sipu Singh in 2013.
