Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath government is relentlessly tightening the screws on jailed mafia don and MLA Mukhtar Ansari and his family. The Ghazipur Police on Wednesday seized an Audi A4 car worth Rs 31 lakh belonging to Ansari's brother-in-law Sharjil Raza.
Acting on the orders of district magistrate, a team of Ghazipur police reached Sharjil Raza house in the morning. Following an announcement, the police team confiscated the white luxury sedan.
Raza, who is facing several criminal cases, has been absconding since long.
