Overview

  • Justice Gautam Chaudhary allowed the bail plea, clearing the way for his release while the criminal case proceeds.
  • Police registered the case at Mohammadabad police station in Ghazipur and arrested him in Lucknow on August 3 before sending him to judicial custody.
  • A Ghazipur ADJ court had rejected bail on August 21, and he was shifted on August 23 to Pachlana jail in Kasganj.
  • Investigators cite signature mismatches and an allegedly forged power of attorney, while the defence says no complaint was filed by the mother and the forgery is not proven by due procedure.
  • Police say his mother, Afsha/Afshan Ansari, remains absconding with a reward announced, and the disputed property in Vallabh Devdhi Das Mohalla under Sadar Kotwali remains under attachment.
