It may be noted that Mukhtar, on complaint of abdominal unease and pain, was admitted to Banda Medical College on March 26. He remained under observation for 15 hours and went through all the necessary tests, which showed that he was suffering from acidity and gastritis due to constipation. He was sent back to the jail after treatment.However, responding to his letter to the MP/MLA court, Banda CMO had set up a panel to inquire into his apprehensions, but in the probe, nothing was corroborated, said the sources.Meanwhile, amid the heavy deployment of security personnel in several districts of eastern UP, including Ghazipur, Mau, Varanasi, and Banda, and prohibitory orders in force, Mukhtar’s body was taken to his native district Ghazipur for last rites covering over 400 km distance from Banda.After the autopsy, the body of the gangster was handed over to his son Umar, and it was ferried to Ghazipur in a convoy of 20 four-wheelers escorted by two deputy SP rank officers and two trucks full of police force.The burial is expected to take place after morning namaz on Saturday as the body was expected to reach Mohammadabad in Ghazipur late on Friday night.Meanwhile, his elder son, who is lodged in Kasganj jail in connection with multiple cases, moved the Supreme Court of India seeking permission to participate in the last rites of his father. Earlier, he had moved the Allahabad High Court but failed to get his application mentioned.
