Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) legislator Mukhtar Ansari, who is doing time at Banda jail for various criminal cases, suffered a heart attack during a meeting with his wife Asfan Ansari on Tuesday noon.
Seeing Ansari lose consciousness, his wife too suffered a heart attack and both had to be rushed to District Hospital. After their condition slightly improved, doctors referred the couple to Lucknow but they were admitted to Medical College in Kanpur. The doctors at Sanjay Gandhi Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences have been alerted. A close aide of the MLA said that Ansari’s condition was stable.
Principal Secretary (Home), Arvind Kumar after speaking to local officers in Banda, summoned a detail report.
“I have spoken to SSP and DM of Banda and they told me about the heart attack. I have sought a report from them. The MLA will be provided the best treatment,” Kumar said in Lucknow on Tuesday evening.
The don-turned-legislator from Mau constituency had been in various jails of UP for various crimes since 2015.
Jail Superintendent of Banda, Ram Sewak Chaudhary said that Ansari suffered a heart attack while meeting his wife in the prison and she too developed chest pain. “Later they were rushed to Banda district hospital and later the doctors referred the couple to a Lucknow hospital,” Chaudhary said.
