Ghazipur (Uttar Pradesh) : MP Afzal Ansari, brother of gangster politician Mukhtar Ansari, was sentenced on Saturday in the Gangster Act case. Afzal has been sentenced to four years in prison which leads to his disqualification from his Lok Sabha membership. While giving the verdict, the judge referred to Munshi Premchand's famous story 'Bade Bhai Sahab'.
It is said that Afzal had a big hand in making Mukhtar a criminal, if Afzal had fulfilled the duty of an elder brother, then Mukhtar would not have become a criminal. He would have been an international-level player. ADGC (Crime) Neeraj Srivastava shared this information relating to the case in a special conversation with ETV India on Sunday.
According to Neeraj Srivastava, the reference to Premchand's story 'Bade Bhai Saheb' came up during the judgment from the court. Two brothers have been mentioned in this. The judge told Afzal Ansari that the way two brothers are mentioned in Premchand's story - one brother fulfils the duty of being an elder brother. He inspires his brother to walk on a good path, but Afzal Ansari did not do so, when Mukhtar Ansari first stepped into the world of crime, if Afzal Ansari had stopped him, then today he would not have been sentenced. Had he come into sports, he would have been an international player.
