Mukhtar Ansari has been cremated amid the political allegations that he was given poison in prison and his death is not natural despite the autopsy confirming cardiac arrest as the reason behind the gangster's death. However, the Uttar Pradesh police faced an embarrassing situation after a constable openly hailed Ansari on social media platforms while alleging that his death was scripted.
Reacting to his post, DCP Abhijit R Shankar said that action has been initiated against Constable Fayaz Khan. He said that Khan's social media post was a violation of the Uttar Pradesh Police Social Media policy and Police Officers (Punishment and Appeal) Rules, 1991.
Khan was posted at Bakshi ka Talab police station in Lucknow. He has been issued marching orders. The DCP further said that since the Model Code of Conduct is in place, the police department has written to the Election Commission of India seeking approval for suspending Khan. The DCP confirmed that the constable had shared the photo on his personal WhatsApp account in solidarity with the deceased mafia don.
