Gangster-turned-politician Mukhtar Ansari was laid to rest at the Kali Bagh burial ground in Ghazipur on Saturday. He was buried near his parents' graves. Security was tight around Ansari's residence and the burial site to manage the large crowds, with police and paramilitary forces deployed.

Mukhtar Ansari, aged 63, suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away while receiving treatment at Banda Medical College.

However, a video went viral showing Mukhtar's brother, Afzal Ansari, engaged in a heated argument with DM Aryaka Akhouri regarding the burial ground for Mukhtar Ansari. Afzal Ansari claimed that no permission was needed to provide soil for the burial. He gave an open challenge to the authorities to stop him from doing the ritual. In response, DM Aryaka Akhouri warned of taking action.
