Supreme Court grants bail to gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari’s son in arms licence case

The Supreme Court on Monday granted bail to Uttar Pradesh MLA Abbas Ansari in connection with an arms licence case registered at Lucknow in October 2019.

A bench comprising Justices B R Gavai and Sandeep Mehta passed the order while hearing Abbas Ansari's plea challenging the Allahabad High Court order rejecting his bail application in the case.

Abbas Ansari, the son of gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari, had moved the top court against the November 20 last year order of the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court.
