Bahubali Mukhtar Ansari’s elder brother and BSP MP Afzal Ansari was questioned by the Enforcement Directorate on Monday in a money laundering case in Banda jail in Uttar Pradesh. The interrogation by the investigating agency lasted for about 10 hours, in which information was sought from him about the transactions related to some companies.
Giving information about this inquiry, Ansari said that information was sought regarding unknown sources of income. Income tax return for 2010 -21 was asked which we have given to the investigating agency. According to information, the ED has obtained information about his transactions and his properties. Along with this, he was also questioned about where the money came from to build these properties. Afzal Ansari was questioned at the ED Prayagraj office. Ansari had reached around 12 o’clock and left the office late in the evening.
Angry at BJP: Attacking the BJP, Ansari said that it is an agency with great powers. The government can get the investigation done. I am no Vijay Mallya. They may have formed the government in Uttar Pradesh in 2022, but they have suffered a crushing defeat in Purvanchal. 9 in Jaunpur, 10 in Azamgarh, Ballia 7, Ghazipur 7, Mau 4 In total, out of these 37 seats, BJP was punctured on 4 seats, due to which BJP is desperate and is taking revenge for its defeat. BJP’s 55 seats have decreased in 2022. I ask what will happen in 2024? Counting the loudspeaker is not going to do anything.
Reason for questioning Afzal Ansari: According to media reports, the ED had detected some companies in the money laundering case. Who has a direct relation not only with Mukhtar but also with Afzal. At the same time, the agency wanted to know which companies had sent money to Ansari’s firm. Why was he sent?
It is worth noting that today the ED has called the office of Mukhtar Ansari’s two sons, including Abbas and Umar, to interrogate some other members of the family.
