The development came days after jailed Gangster Mukhtar Ansari's son MLA Abbas Ansari's wife Nikhat Bano was arrested with two cellphones when she visited the prison for allegedly providing "undue help" to her husband.
Gangster Mukhtar Ansari's son Abbas Ansari, who is in jail in connection with the Prevention of money laundering case, was summoned by the Anti-corruption Court, Lucknow, on Tuesday for illegally meeting his wife at the Chitrakoot jail.
Mukhtar Ansari's son and Mau Sadar MLA Abbas Ansari is accused in a fraud case of transfer of arms licence and an arrest warrant was issued by Lucknow Court following it.
In his letter, Umar Ansari alleged that his brother's life is in danger from Dhruv Singh alias Kuntu Singh, who is also lodged in Kasganj jail. He alleged that a conspiracy is being hatched to get Abbas Ansari killed with the help of Kuntu Singh inside the Kasganj Jail.
Gangster Mukhtar Ansari's daughter-in-law and jailed MLA Abbas Ansari's wife was arrested for allegedly illegally meeting her husband at the Chitrakoot jail.
Speaking at a Dawn News broadcast on Saturday, Abbasi said the inquiry Imran has requested for was provided for under Article 6 of the country constitution. "If Imran Khan thinks the Constitution was violated, he should file an Article 6 petition," he said, adding, "It is his right."
The meeting of Abbas Ansari and his wife Nisbat ansari came to the fore in the deputy jailer's office in Chitrakoot jail. Mobile and food items were also recovered from Abbas's wife.
Sources privy to the matter said that Abbasi decided to step down after Maryam Nawaz was elevated as the party's chief organizer and senior vice president by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, who is also PML-N president.
