CBI court denies Ansari’s plea seeking clean chit

NEW DELHI

A special CBI court has recently declined the plea of mafia-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari seeking a clean chit in a Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) case. While delivering the verdict, Judge Anurodh Mishra stated the existence of preliminary evidence against Ansari that subjects him to a legal trial.
Mukhtar Ansari had been implicated in the PMLA case on the 7th of November, 2022. It was alleged he earned crores in an illegal manner from a construction firm, which he has unlawfully seized. Notably, his wife Afsa Ansari and brother-in-law Atif Raja were reportedly affiliated partners.
The court has fixed the framing of charges against Ansari to take place on the 13th of September.
